David Beckham uses Roy Keane as fitting example of a handy European to have about

They may not have always seen eye to eye but they were fans of the '0' blade and winning league titles.

In three days' time, Great Britain will trudge to the polls to vote on whether or not they want to stay part of the European Union. While immigrants, resurrecting borders, currency wobbles and tax exemptions have occupied many minds, David Beckham is more concerned with the human side of what a 'Brexit' could mean. The former Manchester United and England midfielder has taken to Instagram to state his intention to vote 'Remain' in the EU. He sums up just what being part of Europe means to him and what it should mean to Britain. In a nutshell, Beckham declares that United's local lads may have formed the spine of a successful team but they would not have been near as successful without an Irishman, Frenchman, and a big, star-jumping Danes.

'I played my best years at my boyhood club, Manchester United. I grew up with a core group of young British players that included Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and the Neville Brothers. Added to that was an experienced group of older British players such as Gary Pallister, Steve Bruce and Paul Ince. 'Now that team might have gone on to win trophies but we were a better and more successful team because of a Danish goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel, the leadership of an Irishman Roy Keane and the skill of a Frenchman in Eric Cantona.'
