Former England football star David Beckham has said that he would be honoured to play for the British football team at the London Olympics in 2012.
According to the BBC, the LA Galaxy midfielder, who last played for England in October 2009, said: "Decisions are still to be made but I''d love to be part of it.
"I'm an East End lad and being English born and bred, it would be something I'd be very honoured to be part of."
Olympic teams are made up of players aged under 23 but can include three over-aged stars and Beckham is 36.
The former Manchester United winger has won 115 caps for England, more than any other outfield player, since making his debut in 1996 and played in three World Cups.
He made his last international appearance as a substitute in the 3-0 win over Belarus less than two years ago, with injury preventing him from being available to play in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The British Olympic Association, which has entrusted the English FA with the task of managing the GB team, is keen for any side to be representative of the United Kingdom, but the England U21s are likely to form the basis of any GB Olympic side in the run-up to the London Games.u00a0
