The EU referendum is a mere day away, and there's still many reasons for its citizens to decide whether the UK leaves or remains with its EU membership. And UNICEF Ambassador David Beckham shares one huge mantra to remain: that 'Europe is a team and it needs to play together to succeed'.
The famously retired football star, who played with Manchester United, has led a queue of sports personalities in campaigning for strong support with the EU referendum for the UK to stay with the European Union, reports Mirror UK. He has rallied together former England rugby national team captain Lawrence Dallaglio, marathoner Paula Radcliffe, as well as Northern Irish horse racing jockey champ AP McCoy for the Remain campaign.
Other known personalities who had opinions raised for the upcoming EU referendum were in the likes of Wales goalkeeper Neville Southall, English darts champ Bobby George, including famed English ex-footballer Rio Ferdinand. Even former Liverpool star John Barnes recently restated his still backing Remain, despite main Leave campaign advocate Michael Gove saying that Barnes had decided to join the Brexiteers' side.
Barnes also said that he still supports Remain, although he has expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the EU especially on the EU referendum issue involving immigrants. He adds that it needs to be a 'collective responsibility' to resolve the issue and that the UK should not leave because of it.
Meanwhile, Beckham's equally-famous wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham was slammed for her previous remarks on the prospect of Britain staying with the EU in a 1996 interview, BBC reported. EU referendum Leave campaigners were quick to point it out to Posh Spice's husband to think about what his wife said. Still, Becks backs the Remain campaign as his experience playing all over Europe has showed him that being in a 'vibrant and connected world' are what people needs to think in behalf of their children and future generations to come.
