Veteran ... David Beckham
DAVID Beckham wants to play for Team GB at the 2016 Rio Olympics — even though he’ll be 41.
Becks, 37, was a shock omission from the football squad in London.
But he has said he will never retire from international football — and his coach at club side LA Galaxy says he is fit enough to keep playing until 50.
A Galaxy source said yesterday: “David still sees himself as a contender for the GB team.
“The London Olympics was meant to be his farewell at Wembley — but now Rio 2016 is in his sights.”
Becks last played for England in October 2009, winning his 115th cap as a sub against Belarus.
