“Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.”

Vince Lombardi

Beckham Baker is a young prodigy, demonstrating talent and flair in the field of football. This gifted boy was marked by the Spanish club when they were in Melbourne, Australia, for their junior academy program.

Succession To Villareal

Due to his extraordinary talent, the eminent club Villarreal CF selected him for the trials. He was part of the four-member group that traveled to Spain. Other players also included Jordan Olds, Noah Alessi, and Andrew Pothitos.

While speaking to FTBL, Baker’s father said that their family relocated to Melbourne to help Beckham’s growing sports career.

In the year 2019, they went to Levante. And while training with Villarreal’s U11’s and U12’s, he performed so well that he received a whopping 10-page report from them regarding his performance. And it was glowing.

His father also said,

“He has mentors like Daniel’ D10 Capellaro’ and Tim Cahill, Dario Vidosic, and James Troisi following him on Instagram.

“Tim sends him advice, as do Dario and James and he’s supported by a lot of A-League players. And D10 has been a great mentor.”

Living Up To His Name
