Former England football captain David Beckham will play a cameo role in Friday’s Olympic opening ceremony after he was left out of Britain’s team for the Games. In an interview with CNN on Tuesday the 37-year-old LA Galaxy midfielder said he would play a part in the ceremony but declined to give any details.
