Beckham: Harry for England

And the 36-year-old revealed he is a massive fan of Tottenham defender Kyle Walker.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star added: "I watch a lot of European football.

"The coverage over here is so huge so there are games on every night. It doesn't make me popular. As soon as my wife hears football in the lounge, she is not happy.

"There are so many young, talented, English players which is great to see. It's not happened for a few years. We have always had one or two.

"Now, we have got a big group of lads coming through at the same time and it's pleasing. There's Jack Wilshere, Rodwell, Sturridge.

"I've been really impressed with Walker. I've watched a few Tottenham games. His pace and energy is very impressive. It's great to see young kids coming through.

"I think in a competition like the Euros, we can go all the way. I truly believe that. I know there are cynics who don't believe we will anything for quite a while.

"I believe we have a chance in a big competition at some point. To win in the Euros would be special."

Beckham insists he will not retire from England and has not given up hope of making Fabio Capello's Euro2012 squad — even though the Italian says the player is unlikely to be selected.

And Beckham is not keen on being part of Capello's backroom staff like he was at the 2010 World Cup after being sidelined with injury.
