@crossbar_clobber: The 2007/08 LA Galaxy home shirt, made iconic by one of the biggest transfers in MLS history. David Beckham arrived in Los Angeles from Real Madrid in 2007, signing a five year deal and becoming MLS's first major Designated Player. The rule, quickly nicknamed the Beckham Rule, allowed clubs to sign players whose salaries could exceed the league's salary cap, with only a set amount counting towards the team's salary budget. Beckham's first season was disrupted by ankle and knee injuries, limiting him to just five MLS appearances. 2008 was a different story, with Beckham making 25 appearances, scoring five goals and providing 10 assists. He was also selected for his first MLS All Star appearance. The Beckham signing was about far more than what happened on the pitch. His arrival brought enormous attention to MLS, helped attract other international stars and played a huge role in changing the league's global profile. And of course, there's THAT Beckham 23 on the back. One of the most recognisable namesets in football, on a shirt that represents a pretty significant moment in the history of the American game. What shirt should be next on crossbar classics? #footballshirts #manutd #realmadrid #crossbarclassics #davidbeckham
