Stuart Pearce has revealed that David Beckham still hasn’t spoken to him since his Team GB football snub at London 2012.

The 62-year-old nicknamed ‘Psycho’ in his playing days was given the rare task of managing Team GB’s football team 12 years ago.

Ex-England star, Pearce named his squad picking talents from England and Wales.

The squad featured stars such as Ryan Giggs, who captained the side, Daniel Sturridge, Micah Richards and Aaron Ramsey.

However, one snub that caused plenty of controversy was Pearce leaving out fellow Three Lions hero, David Beckham.

Since not being picked for Team GB, the 49-year-old has apparently not spoken to the manager TV pundit, Pearce.

At the time, Becks was picked in the provisional squad as one of the three over 23 players who could feature.

Unfortunately, for Golden Balls, he was dropped when the final 18-man team sheet was released, as reported by What’sTheJam.

With the Paris 2024 Olympics getting underway, Stuart Pearce has been speaking about his experience on talkSPORT.

He said: “I’ve not spoken to him since.

“But then again, we weren’t big friends before.

“I think there’s an overlap, I was in the England squad for a couple of games when he was just starting and I was just finishing.

“I like Dave, I love him to bits and I’ve got so much respect for him but I had to make a decision that was right for the whole squad and the nation.

“When you strip it all back, it comes down to footballing decisions, you have to. make the right decision for the squad.

“I think he’s ultimately a very professional man but someone who’s driven, that’s very, very proud of representing his nation and all the work that he has done.

“So he wasn’t happy, but I can understand that because I know how driven he is.

“From my point [of view], it gave me no pride in making that phone call.”

During the tournament, Stuart Pearce’s team went out at the quarter-final stage.

The team drew 1-1 with South Korea before losing 5-4 on penalties.
