On September 23, 1992, David Beckham, one of the greatest English footballers of all time, made his senior professional debut for Manchester United. The Red Devils faced Brighton &
Hove Albion FC in a League Cup second round match. At the Falmer Stadium in Brighton, the
game concluded in a 1-1 draw.

Beckham, a 17-year-old up-and-comer, was utilised as a substitute in the game. Sir Alex
Ferguson, then the manager of Manchester United, brought in the future England captain as a
substitute to replace Andrei Kanchelskis.

Here, we look at who David Beckham's teammates were at that particular match and where they
are currently.

Danny Wallace – FW

In 1989, the English forward moved to Manchester United from Southampton, where he spent
four seasons. He was loaned to Millwall in the final year of his contract with the Red Devils.

Danny Wallace's next club was Birmingham City, where he only stayed for two seasons. Both
seasons were marred by injuries, and he was unable to play for the club. He joined Wycombe
Wanderers in 1995, but only played one match before retiring from professional football.

Wallace was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1996, a condition characterised by damage to
the insulating coverings of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This was one of the reasons
why the striker was unable to play for Birmingham City.

Mark Hughes – FW

The Welsh striker spent two stints at Manchester United, the first from 1980 to 1986 and the
second from 1988 to 1995. He has also played for European powers Barcelona, Bayern Munich,
and Chelsea in addition to the Red Devils. After two seasons with Blackburn Rovers, he retired
from professional football in 2002.

He has managed the Wales national team, Manchester City, Queens Park Rangers, and Stoke
City, among others. His most recent management assignment was as head coach of
Southampton for a brief stint during the 2017-18 season.
