Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey says he won't be bullied out of playing for Great Britain at the London Olympics.

The ex-Cardiff player hit back yesterday about the controversial­ issue and pictures which outraged many Wales fans ahead of today's friendly with Norway.

Ramsey said: "Me and Gareth are contracted to adidas and it was a shoot for them.

"It wasn't just that top we were photographed in that day, it was a few others. And I don't regret it.

"If it doesn't affect Wales' identity then I don't see why not to play for GB. It is up to the players. The PFA haven't given us any reason why we can't play in the Olympics.

"Maybe we'll have a meeting, but I am not sure. It is still a long way away, so a lot can happen.

"But whenever I put on that Wales shirt I give 100 per cent, and Gareth and Joe are no different to me.

"I am a proud Welshman, who wants to go out and give his best every time."
