With the opening matches of the World Cup just days away, football-mad youngsters all over England are getting ready to support their sporting heroes. Three young fans who will be feeling the excitement even more than most are Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz Beckham, who have been sticking close to their mum and dad as the competition draws near.
Seven-year-old Brooklyn and his little brother Romeo, who are both looking more grown up every day, were both wearing England jerseys when they were spotted walking hand-in-hand with Victoria at the weekend. And although the former Spice Girl preferred to show off her slender figure in a clingy black ensemble, the youngest member of the clan, one-year-old Cruz, was likewise sporting the national team's strip.
David, meanwhile, was proudly waving a St George's Cross flag as he and the rest of the squad boarded a plane for Germany on Monday afternoon. The hunky athlete is looking forward to making his children and his country proud when he and his team-mates take on Paraguay on Saturday.
"My kids are just as excited as everyone about this World Cup," revealed the 31-year-old. "I haven't had my orders from Brooklyn yet, but he always tells me to score him a goal when I go away to tournaments and he always tells me to put my shirt over my head when I score!"
"He played the other day for his school and he scored, so his three best friends all did the same with their shirts over their heads. I think he'd be quite proud if I did that, but I don't want to get a booking!"
Becks also confessed that he'd love to see one of his boys follow in his footsteps by becoming a top-flight player. "Nothing can take the place of playing in front of 90,000 fans because nothing can compare with that," he explained. "The only thing that will take its place will be watching one of my sons playing on the big stage - only that could take its place, so my dreams can become Brooklyn's dream, hopefully."
