BECKHAM DROPPED FROM OLYMPICS SQUAD

Former England Captain, David Beckham, has been dropped from Team Great Britain's Olympic football squad. The LA Galaxy midfielder was expected to be named along with Craig Bellamy and Ryan Giggs, as the tree over-age players in the squad, but Stuart Pearce has decided otherwise.

The 37-year old said he would have been honored to have been part of this unique Team GB squad. Though he is disappointed but he hopes they can win the gold.

Beckham adds that as a Londoner he would have been really proud to have played a small part in bringing the Olympics to his home town as part of Seb's team.

He consoles himself by saying he will enjoy every moment along with the rest of Great Britain.
