FA want to secure LA Galaxy star Beckham to ambassadorial role

The FA want to offer an official ambassadorial role to LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham.

The 34 year-old superstar underwent surgery last week to repair the torn achilles ­tendon he sustained playing for AC Milan and faces six months on the sidelines.

Senior FA officials are ­already aware of the massive popularity Beckham enjoys around the globe.

A senior FA source told the Sunday Mirror: “David can do a wonderful job for English football. The role of ambassador for the English game with the Olympics and 2018 World Cup bid on the go would be a perfect match.”
