Beckham underlined his satisfaction at having been England's captain, noting that he felt that same "passion" when he was appointed to represent Britain in the Olympics Games.
"We worked together to bring the greatest sporting event of them all to our nation and I was thrilled to watch us competing together against the world," added Beckham, who emphasised his satisfaction at seeing Scottish athletes like Chris Hoy (cycling) and Andy Murray (tennis) win the gold medals at London 2012 Olympics Games.
Beckham said: "What unites us is much greater than what divides us. Let's stay together." A referendum on whether Scotland should be an independent country is set to take place on September 18.
