While David Beckham might not be playing for England in the World Cup in South Africa, captain of the English squad, John Terry, claims that the soccer superstar will still participate in some way.

When Terry was quizzed about whether or not he thought Beckham should journey to South Africa for the big event, he responded, “He plays a massive part in the squad. He has always made me feel welcome and still does that with everyone now.”

He adds, “Whether [David] has started the game or come on as a substitute he has done fantastically well. He trains extremely hard and is a great example for everyone in the squad. He also passes on advice at half-time and plays a key role.”

Such as posing.
