David Beckham will mentor young players in a new Disney+ football show.
The star is a former England captain and has played for clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy.
Beckham will return to east London in the series, where he played football as a child, and help a struggling side survive in their league.
He said: "It is fantastic to be making Save Our Squad and to shine a light on the kind of grassroots football that I experienced growing up and which gave me so much at the start of my life in the game.

Disney says the team will go on "an uplifting, transformative journey of a lifetime".
