NEW YORK – David Beckham has earned Major League Soccer’s Comeback Player of the Year award for rebounding from a torn Achilles tendon. The Los Angeles Galaxy star was limited to just seven MLS games in 2010, but came back to lead the Galaxy to the Supporters Shield as the top team in the regular season. The 36-year-old finished the 2011 season with 67 points, the second-highest in league history. Beckham had 15 assists — second in MLS — in 26 games, scored twice, and earned his second all-star selection. In addition to winning Comeback Player of the Year, Beckham was named to the MLS Best XI this season. The England midfielder’s injury kept him out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. (The Canadian Press)
