No not David .... but his son Brooklyn.

Apparently he's had a successful trial at Cobham and will join Chelsea's academy.

Well hope he is good looking as well. If the footy isn't working we can still make money of him. Looking at his parents a least 50% of them looks good. Not naming any names but it is not Posh. 😄

Thank god it's the kid!  Didn't realise he was old enough!  For one awful moment I thought Mr Posh was going to be our new manager - though to be fair, rather him than FSW

 

B.O.

I feel a bit sorry for any of his kids who want to get a career in football, they will have to prove themselves more than most young players and will always have problems.

Bit of fun gossip to lighten the pages.  Not sure it terms anywhere that his trial was succesful, just that he trialled.

 

Good positive PR for our academy tho:

 

'Chelsea are one of the strongest academies in the country. The difference is that he is the son of the former England captain and this will draw attention.'

 

A statement on the academy section of the club's website reads: 'To produce home-grown professional footballers capable of competing with Europe's elite players. A talented young footballer wanting to play for Chelsea needs to strive to be among the best in the world.

'Producing a core of our own young talent has never been more challenging; nor has it ever been more worthwhile. The development of young players is vital to the long-term success of any football club.'

Absolutely, most pro football clubs have academies for U8's so 7yrs upwards.

Not so sure, plenty of high profile Father Son examples in football - Zidane, Maldini and our own SFL - if they love the game......

 

Eddie that headline scared the sh*t out if me.

Successful according to Skysports.

Sweet, maybe Becks can have a few days training with us to teach some of our players how to cross/take a corner

If the lad is good he's welcome AFAIC.

If this means his father will attend youth games I will watch every game from now on!

I'm surprised the lad didn't go to Man Utd.

 

Because of his dad he has the potential of being marketable.

If he can take a free kick like his dad used too, I say sign him up.

if frank junior can then there's hope.

"Confirmed" that it was successful by Sky Sports

 

Also, in reading the comments out there on the internets, Man U fans are already saying they should keep an eye on him!

Can you imagine having one of the Beckham kids in your youth team? What a nightmare and I'm not even talking about the pressure of having their dad judge the way you're training them, or the stick from their mum when you don't pick the little cherrub.

They'd hardly ever be there, they spend their time jetting all over the world, not worrying about a commitment to a youth football team, and when they did turn up they'd be knackered from being out late at the latest film premier that their mother needs them to attend!

But who am I to judge, they're just kids and as such they should be allowed to play football the same as any.other kid.

Good luck master Beckham, work hard and who knows.....

I think it works both ways though. Would he of even had a trial in the first place if he wasn't Beckham's son?

Can't stand Beckham, this gave me a fright! And I don't want that annoying git around Cobham in support for anyone, or even for a pint of milk. So there (defiantly).

Meh, we'll see what happens.

Can't stand the brain dead prick and his brain dead pig faced wife.  Hope is son is better than him and signs for Man City.

Might be a laugh.

Big fan of Beckham. Will always remember that free kick against Greece. Great player. Great pro and a fine ambassador for English Football. Don't understand the hate towards him. 

 

 

If his son has potential, then why not?

True enough, but I still think being the son of a famous footballer will be a hinderance more than a help over his career.
