No hard feelings!


David Beckham may have been overlooked by Stuart Pearce when it came to making the Team GB squad for the London 2012 Olympics, but the footballer certainly isn't letting the snub get to him.

The 37-year-old LA Galaxy superstar showed that he had no hard feelings about being left out of the team as he passionately supported his country by attending their second group game against UAE as they cruised to a 3-1 win.

David was accompanied by his 13-year-old son Brooklyn and Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge as he was treated like royalty and was given pride of place in the stands.

Even though Beckham was omitted from the final squad for the 2012 Olympics, the British fans still showed him support, with many of them seen wearing Beckham masks in the crowd.

Beckham had a particular interest in the match as his long term friend and former Manchester United teammate Ryan Giggs was playing second fiddle to team mate Craig Bellamy in the floating role, was captaining the team. And the Manchester United midfielder Giggs repaid the star by scoring the opening goal in the 3-1 win for Team GB, with both David and Prince William standing up to applaud.

In doing so, Ryan Giggs became the oldest man to score in the Olympics to cap off a victorious evening for Great Britain and indeed on a personal level for Giggs, one of the most illustrious and glittering careers of all time.
