The appearance at Harvard is an interesting development for the ex-Real Madrid hero, who came from a working-class background in east London to become a world-famous athlete, starring for Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
After his playing days ended, he became a co-owner of MLS side Inter Miami.
WHAT THEY SAID
"Who would have thought the boy from east London talks at Harvard," Beckham wrote.
"Huge honour today spending time with [professor Anita Elberse] at Harvard."
Elberse wrote on her own post: "Yes, you’re seeing it right: the legendary [David Becham] was a guest speaker in my [Harvard Business School] MBA class today.
"So amazing to hear him share his thoughts on topics such as his soccer career, his joint venture with Authentic Brands Group, and of course Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF."

After the international period, Beckham's Inter Miami team will return to MLS action with a match against Charlotte.
