David Beckham will be given the first-ever Legend award at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports Awards in honor of his talent and sportsmanship.
Beckham, 39, who was recently named Ambassador of United for Wildlife by Prince William, will receive the award for being a role model to young kids both on and off the field.
“He exemplifies the qualities every kid aspires to achieve and his name is the first that comes to mind when we think of his sport,” the network said in a statement.
