Football legend David Beckham has celebrated Father’s Day (in the US) with a throwback image of him with his biggest fan — his father. The retired soccer star is seen standing alongside his father, David Edward Allen Beckham, holding two trophies, including the Premier League trophy.
The recently turned 40-year-old wrote on his Facebook page, “Happy Father’s Day dad… Thank you for all the support you have given me over the years… To all the dads around the world have an amazing day and enjoy being spoilt by your beautiful children”.
He also shared a picture of the “perfect Father’s Day gift” he received from his children, Harper, 3, Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 12, and Cruz, 10. He seems to adore the beaded bracelet that spells “Daddy,” capped on either end with hearts.
