Others couldn't help compare David to his youngest son, Cruz, who this year turned 16. "You look like Cruz," one commented, and someone else agreed, writing: "Wow, Cruz is your double."
Meanwhile, wife Victoria shared her own photo to mark Sandra's 71st birthday. Alongside a candid photo of herself, David, Sandra and her sister-in-law, she wrote: "Happy Birthday @sandra_beckham49! Who do you think was the drunken Beckham here?? Spice up your life, take a leaf out of your daughter in law's book and have a glass of wine (or a Cointreau!) to celebrate today."

David shared another childhood throwback just last weekend to mark Father's Day here in the UK. In the photo, David posed alongside his mum, sister and dad Ted in what looks like the family's kitchen. While it's not known when the photo was taken, David appears to be a teenager and his hair has darkened to the brunette shade we know today.
