Manchester United's David Beckham (right) stands with manager Sir Alex Ferguson before their match against Charlton Athletic in the English premier league match at Old Trafford,Manchester, in this May 11, 2002 file photo. Reuters picLONDON, May 18 David Beckhams longevity and his ability to reinvent himself were absolutely incredible, retiring Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has said.
Beckham and Ferguson, who were synonymously linked with Manchester United until the former England captain moved to Real Madrid, both announced in the past 10 days they would retire from soccer at the end of the current season.
The 71-year-old Fergusons final game in charge after 26 years at Old Trafford will be tomorrow while the 38-year-old Beckham will retire as a player after Paris St Germains French Ligue finale against FC Lorient on May 26.
You talk about longevity and in many ways reinventing himself, it has been absolutely incredible, Ferguson was reported as saying by the BBC last night.
When he went to America there wasnt a person in this place who really thought he could have a career, Ferguson added about Beckhams move to LA Galaxy in 2007.
Yet he went on and still played for his country, he played for AC Milan in European ties and he played for PSG in European ties, and I dont think anyone could have imagined that.
He had unbelievable stamina ... he could run all day, and that has allowed him to stay in the game at that kind of level, playing for his country in his mid 30s.
Beckham joined Manchester United as an 11-year-old and went on to play 11 years at the club under Ferguson, winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League in a trophy-laden career.
The midfielder, who described Ferguson as a father figure, had a falling out in 2003 when a boot kicked by the manager in the teams dressing room following a defeat struck Beckham in the face and the player moved to Real Madrid later that year.

Bacon: Secret To A Long, Happy Life?
A 105-year-old Texas woman recently revealed her secret to her longevity: bacon.
Pearl Cantrell from Richland Springs, Texas, recently celebrated her 105th birthday with more than 200 guests. The event lasted three days.
"I love bacon, I eat it every day," Pearl Cantrell told NBC affiliate KRBC. "I don't feel as old as I am, that's all I can say."
Cantrell became a widow at age 38 and worked as everything from a cotton picker to a hay baler while raising seven kids on her own. Although Cantrell retired decades ago, she kept mowing her own lawn until the age of 100, according to the West Texas Tribune. She also still dances some of her favorite styles include country dancing, waltzing and two-stepping.
When Oscar Mayer found out about Cantrell's love of bacon, they sent one of their iconic Wienermobile to make a bacon delivery to Cantrell's home. Cantrell rode shot-bun in the Wienermobile through her hometown, as dozens of local residents watched.
"We've seen a lot of stories on the road, but nothing quite like this one, so we're excited to be here," an Oscar Meyer spokesman told Big Country Homepage. "We know shes an inspiration. Pearl is an inspiration for the community, and her friends and family. So we had to make a special stop here for her today."
A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine last March found that eating a single serving of processed red meat (about the size of a deck of cards) every day increased the risk of participants dying prematurely by 13 percent. If a person ate an additional serving of processed red meat, the chance of drying during the 22 year study period jumped to 20 percent. However, a more recent study performed by the University of Zurich found the opposite: that eating little or no red meat can be a risk factor for early death.
Despite what research says, Cantrell plans to continue eating bacon and dancing.
"I love bacon, I could eat it for every meal and I do!" Cantrell said.

Chuck Adams wasn't looking for accolades.
But when the mayor's office contacted his business, Easton Upholstery, about being honored for its longevity in the Downtown area, Adams agreed to participate.
He wasn't the only one.
Easton on Tuesday night paid tribute to Downtown businesses established 20 years ago or longer -- 45 in all.
Adams is the third generation of his family to preside over the upholstery business, which was founded by his grandfather Stephen Adams in 1926.
It's been in the 500 block of Northampton Street the whole time, keeping customers growing with sharp customer service and attention to detail, Adams said.
"This was fantastic for every one of the grassroots businesses of Downtown, which have been through the high spots and low spots," Adams said. "As a small business, you have to stick it out."
About 125 people attended a recognition ceremony and reception at the Sigal Museum in the 300 block of Northampton Street.
Mayor Sal Panto Jr. said it was designed to recognize business owners who laid the groundwork for recent successes that have lifted Easton's profile and helped lure people to rediscover Downtown.
"There are a lot of people that we forget paved the way," Panto said. "We make a big deal of new businesses, and believe me it's nice to have them, but it's also important to recognize the ones who stayed and got it all started."

The sons and daughters of people who live very long lives tend to get the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease later than others, but they're not immune from the memory-robbing disease, according to a new study.
Based on comparisons of people in their 90s, their spouses, siblings, children and their children's spouses, researchers found that the offspring of people with exceptional longevity were about 40 percent less likely than peers to be cognitively impaired between ages 65 and 79.
It's not necessarily that these individuals never become cognitively impaired, but what it seems like is that there is a delayed onset of cognitive impairment, said Stephanie Cosentino of the Columbia University Medical Center in New York.
By the time the older generation of study volunteers were in their 90s, however, their risk of being cognitively impaired was fairly high.
So Cosentino's team projects that the kids of these long-lived individuals will have the same risk level as their parents if they enjoy similar longevity -- that is, they'll no longer be protected.
Loosely defined, longevity means living beyond the average age of death among peers. In the U.S. today, for instance, a 65-year-old man can expect to live to age 83, on average, and a woman to age 85.
As life expectancies continue to rise, few have investigated whether that means people live to those old ages cognitively intact, Cosentino and her colleagues write in JAMA
Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed in about 5,000 Americans each year. It's the most common form of dementia, affecting more than 5 million Americans, according to the National Institute on Aging.
Both longevity and dementia risk have some degree of heritability.
For the new study, the researchers used data on cognitive impairment from 1,870 people who are part of the Long Life Family Study, which includes volunteer participants in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Denmark.

PARKERSBURG - Following a lively debate, a divided Parkersburg City Council approved the final reading of an ordinance suspending longevity pay for employees on Tuesday.
Councilmembers split 6-3 on the vote, with the majority approving a plan to indefinitely suspend planned yearly pay increases for employees. The ordinance would allow council to bring longevity pay back to the table at a later time.
Longevity pay had been suspended on an annual basis by council in recent years due to economic issues. Under longevity pay, employees received annual 30 cent pay increases, but the program caused issues when positions were vacated and base pay was under market price for new employees.
Photo by Michael Erb Parkersburg City Council President Jim Reed, left, speaks to council members J.R. Carpenter, center, and Mike Reynolds, right, during Tuesdays council meeting.
Councilman John Kelly, who unsuccessfully tried to have the ordinance repealed last month, renewed arguments against the suspension Tuesday, asking for the ordinance to instead be sent to the city's Personnel Committee for review.
"Suspending it just postpones an action we need to take," he said. "We are passing our problem on to future councils and administrations."
Mayor Bob Newell argued against the action, saying the Personnel Committee already is obligated to review employee pay, including longevity, prior to Nov. 30 each year. By suspending longevity now, it would remain an option for council in the future and could be revised if needed.
City attorney Joe Santer urged council to act definitively Tuesday evening, saying longevity pay would go back into effect July 1 if no action was taken.
"You need to repeal or suspend it tonight, or on July 1 something is going to happen you don't want," Santer said.
Kelly's motion to send the ordinance to committee was defeated 3-6, with Kelly, Roger Brown and J.R. Carpenter voting in favor of the motion. Those three then voted against suspending longevity pay, which passed by a 6-3 vote.

Seaweed may not be something you think of as a food, but this top longevity food packs a powerful nutrient punch that very few other foods can match.
For instance, did you know that many types of seaweed have more calcium than cheese, more iron than beef, and more protein than eggs?
Read on to find the numerous seaweed health benefits and try the delicious Seaweed and Vegetable Medley recipe below.
In my new book, Secrets of Longevity Cookbook, I list seaweed as one of the top 10 foods for health and longevity. How did I arrive at this top 10 longevity list?
During my 25 years of studying centenarians, I discovered that the same 10 foods kept recurring again and again in the diets of long-living individuals, and seaweed more than made the cut.
Seaweed: A Nutrient-Rich Superfood
Considered the king of vegetables, seaweed has roots that penetrate into sea beds that are filled with trace minerals, which are no longer present on land.
For thousands of years, this mineral-rich vegetable has been a staple in Asian diets.
