Line-up: LA Galaxy star Beckham could have found Jones at the club

The ex-Wimbledon star player told The Sun that the scout was so impressed that "he reckoned he could play a bit" - and might fancy a trial for the club.

Jones hasn't stopped laughing since.

The Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels star was playing in a seven-a-side tournament with a team of Tinseltown pals.

"We were one-nil down in one game so I decided I'd had enough and got stuck in. I was smacking in goals from everywhere and I had a blinder.

"After the game LA Galaxy's chief scout - some geezer called Warren - came up to me and told me I had good feet. He said he wanted me to go for a trial.

"I said, 'You're 15 years too late'."

Hollywood couple: Jones and wife Tanya

At 42, Jones still play regularly for Hollywood United alongside former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf. "Me and Frank Leboeuf could play for Galaxy. No problem — Frank definitely," he said.

However, it's unlikely Jones - veteran of movies such as Snatch, Mean Machine and Gone in 60 Secs - would fancy lining up alongside Beckham, despite their shared British heritage, love of football and expat American lifestyles.

Asked about the former England captain's arrival at Galaxy from Real Madrid on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson he said: "Well, he's only coming to look after Posh's handbags isn't he?"
