A former England football icon looks a far cry from his stylish self in a family throwback snap of himself as a fresh faced youth.
Former Manchester United player David Beckham, who also captained the England team, looks totally different in the nostalgic snap as he dedicated it to his father David Edward.
The picture sees a very young looking David, presumably at the beginning of his football career, as he beams for the camera.
In his hand are a pair of adidas football boots as he stands wearing a brown blazer, floral tie and white shirt. Stood next to the football legend to be is dad David, who's wearing a leather jacket and football scarf.

David has shared some sweet family snaps with his dad for his birthday (Instagram/ @davidbeckham)David has shared a few throwback snaps recently including a touching anniversary message to wife Victoria, as they celebrate 24 years of their love. He shared a picture of himself and wife Victoria from the early days of their relationship as he wrote: "On this day 4.7.99 24 years and counting. To the best wife , mummy & drinking partner (most of the time ) Happy Anniversary love u so much."
The couple, who are parents to Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, tied the knot in 1999. The pair were also spotted enjoying a boozy bash with Victoria belting out a Spice Girls classic on karaoke as hubby David danced along beside her.
She posted different versions on social media and it took fans back after Victoria sat out the band's reunion tour in 2019. She captioned the clip on Instagram: "Just a casual night out in Miami! check out my tik tok to see the full performance . No really I did not drink that much."
Her vocal display came hours after it was said she would not be reprising her Posh Spice role to join her fellow Spice Girls at Glastonbury next year. The music legends are thought to be reuniting at Glastonbury 2024 as they celebrate their 30th anniversary by taking up one of the headline slots at Worthy Farm.
