LA Galaxy star David Beckham is proud to be part of England's 2018 World Cup bid.

Beckham was in South Africa last week to meet with FIFA delegates.

He told TalkSport: "I'm very proud to be part of the bid for 2018. I think it's very special and something that I'm very honoured and very proud to be part of.

"That's the important part of having a World Cup in a country. It leaves a legacy after and also makes that excitement for children which you could feel the moment I landed here. Especially being in the township, it doesn't matter whether you live somewhere like that, all children love the game and love the excitement of a World Cup."
