Micah Richards has opened up on what life was like inside the London 2012 Olympic village, joking that he was 'on fire'.
The former Manchester City defender was one of 18 players selected by Stuart Pearce for the Team GB squad 12 years ago.
Captained by Ryan Giggs, the team also includes the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Craig Bellamy, Aaron Ramsey.
However, they only reached the quarter-finals after losing to South Korea on penalties following a missed spot-kick by Sturridge.
The London games saw sportspeople from across the world living together in close proximity, and Richards has revealed the sex-mad lifestyle of athletes inside the Olympic village.
Richards told the Rest is Football podcast: 'It was the party of all parties. You got all the different athletes, all sorts of different specimens in there.
'Absolutely everything was there, we had McDonalds there, a Chinese, a big cafeteria with everything you want, it's free.
'It's what I imagine when you go to uni when you're in halls and sharing a room, I was with Daniel Sturridge.
'We were there for three nights, we went training, come back to the village, them three nights we were up to 4am.
'You have different campuses, Team GB in one block, Brazil, France, all these countries, and there's a massive big room full of condoms!
'It was like what, obviously promoting safe sex, and honest to god, I was on fire.
'I was on absolute fire, honestly. I was a little slimmer, a bit more ripped, bit more lean, it was summer time, walking around with my top off.
'There was multiple gold medals. one of the best times of my life, it was incredible.'
Alan Shearer in response joked: 'No wonder you lot got beat on penalties, you were absolutely knackered.'
Richards also revealed that he was snubbed by NBA legend Kobe Bryant after asking if he could have an autograph.
The football pundit said: 'Kobe Bryant was there, people were taking pictures with him, we were standing around exploring the village. I went up to say 'legend, is it possible to have a photo', and he said 'no not right now!'
'I never felt so silly in all my life, he didn't have a clue who Big Meeks was.'
