Gary Lineker: 'David Beckham not worthy of Olympics'

Gary Lineker says that he would not pick David Beckham for Team GB.

Former England striker Gary Lineker has said that David Beckham is not worthy of a place in Great Britain's Olympics football team.

Team GB coach Stuart Pearce is able to select three over-age players in a squad otherwise comprised of under-23s, but Lineker does not believe that the LA Galaxy star should be among them.

"If you are going to pick the best three over-age players then you would say no [to Beckham]," he reportedly told BBC Radio.

"If it is a 'thank you' for all the work that Beckham has done for the Olympics and getting it to London, then it is a different matter.

"I would pick my best three players if I was in charge. That is who I would want, but who knows? It might be a done deal."

Beckham, who has previously expressed interest in captaining Team GB, is among a shortlist of 80 players in contention to play in the summer tournament.

The draw for the tournament will take place on April 24.
