Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs was yesterday named as captain of the British football team at the London Olympics


Giggs is one of three over-age players in Stuart Pearce's side at the 2012 Games. The winger told www.thefa.com: "Obviously I have experience and there are a lot of younger players in this squad, as captain hopefully I can pass that on to the younger players."
