00:23His is a Hollywood story.
00:25A boy who believed in something bigger than himself had to work for every opportunity
00:31he received and went on to influence his sport, shape culture around the world and create
00:37opportunities for generations who followed.
00:40Most of you will know David as a sportsman, a businessman and an activist, but behind
00:46those titles is a man who has always been defined by his character.
00:52His drive, his determination and his ambition are known to everyone.
00:58But I'd also like to acknowledge his kindness, his loyalty and his commitment to the people
01:04that he loves.
01:05I must admit that this is all rather surreal.
01:09I've experienced some amazing moments in my career, but to be here in Los Angeles receiving
01:14a star on the world famous Walk of Fame is truly incredible.
01:18To see soccer in this country finally take its place on the main stage makes me extremely
01:23proud of the small part that I have played and I truly believe that it can only get bigger
01:29and better.
