The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree for the sons of David Beckham who have inherited his looks – if not his sporting acumen.
The 46-year-old retired footballer is proud father to three sons and one daughter with 47-year-old wife Victoria Beckham – although none of the children have followed the star in his sporting footsteps preferring, instead, the career choice of social media influencing, or being so young they are still at school.
Dave has been enjoying the current 2020 UEFA European Football Championship which has seen matches hosted in London and other european cities for the delayed contest.
And the greying star has often been joined to watch matches in Webley stadium by 18-year-old middle son, Romeo.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday night, Dave and Romeo posed for snaps alongside European football stars as they cheered from the seats of the Italy v Spain game.
Fans and followers have been stunned by the similarity between David and his son – who looks the spitting image of him now that he has beach blonde, buzz cut hair.
The young lad looks like his sport star dad from the glory days of his own football career.
However, some fans have noticed a similarity between Romeo and another famous youngster.
After Dave shared a couple of photos of himself with his middle son at the England v Germany match last week, many took to the comments section of his Instagram post to point out that Romeo looks like Canadian pop star Justin Bieber.
On the topic of pop singers, some old songs have surged back into the charts due to the ongoing success of the England football team during the current Euro cup contest.
Three Lions (Football’s Coming Home) by The Lightening Seeds featuring David Baddiel and Frank Skinner has seen a resurgence in recent weeks.
The song was originally released in support of the 1996 European Championships – which was hosted by England, but lost during the semi-finals in a match against Germany.
The single is romping up the charts again – with the Official Charts Company predicting it will reach number 6 when the top selling tracks of the week are reviewed on Friday.
If England make it through the semi-final match against Denmark on Wednesday night, it will be the first time the team has ever made the final of the contest.
While a win at the grand final on Sunday would mark England’s first international championship win since the still much revered 1966 world cup victory.
Songs supporting the team have swept England – with Fat Les’s 1998 tune Vindaloo set to enter the UK Top 40 for the first time since 2010.
And Atomic Kitten have reworked their 2001 track Whole Again for 2021 – making tribute to team manager Gareth Southgate.
England fans had already appropriated the previous number 1 hit single to change lyrics to state include the name of Gareth.
The new version, titled Southgate You’re the One (Football’s Coming Home Again), was officially released by the group – fronted by Liz McClarnon, Jenny Frost and Natasha Hamilton – on Tuesday.
