David Beckham delighted fans on Monday with a nostalgic throwback photo featuring his rarely seen father, Ted.
Taking to Instagram, the former professional footballer, 48, posted a touching never-before-seen photograph of himself as a teenager posing next to his dad.
David looked almost unrecognisable in the snap with a headful of long blonde locks. He was pictured wearing a pair of sporty white shorts and an oversized teal T-shirt.
Ted, meanwhile, donned a casual outfit consisting of a graphic white T-shirt, black shorts and a simple gold chain necklace.
Alongside the picture, which was shared to mark his dad's 75th birthday, David sweetly penned: "Happy Birthday Dad hope you have an amazing day love u so much [red heart emoji] @tedbeckhamdavid."
Awestruck fans and friends flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts, with one writing: "Amazing picture… wishing your dad a wonderful happy birthday," while a second chimed in: "Happy birthday Ted [red heart]. Hope you’re having a great day pal."
Stunned by David's striking resemblance to his sons, a third added: "Cruz is [his] twin," and a fourth wrote: "Thought that was Romeo!"

In the heartwarming clip, David and Ted openly discussed parenthood, before exchanging sweet anecdotes about their own experiences as a father.
Bursting with pride, Ted said: "You've turned out exactly how I want you."

David's tribute to his father comes after the Beckham clan enjoyed a very special trip to Miami. Cruz, 18, and Harper, 12, joined their parents at a glamorous party to celebrate the signing of football superstar, Lionel Messi.

In a subtle nod to the Inter Miami club colours, Cruz and Harper opted to wear coordinating blush pink ensembles. Dressed to perfection, mini fashionista Harper donned a candy pink maxi dress crafted from crepe fabric, whilst Cruz looked dapper in a satin pink shirt. Perfection!

Thank you to everyone for showing up come rain or shine we had a typical Miami welcome. Love you all x @victoriabeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven [pink heart emoji] we missed you @romeobeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham."
