"He was going blue and was unconscious until he calmed down," Rod shared. "It was scary, but it turned out to be a panic attack. The lad wanted to do well."

We hope the ordeal doesn't put the young boy off football – the family had a football pitch installed at their Essex home back in 2017, with fans catching a glimpse of it on Instagram.

"The man who built a football pitch in his garden," one follower said, while another added: "Love the football field!"

Rod Stewart has eight children in total

Rod ad Penny live at home with their youngest sons Aiden and Alastair. The rocker has a total of eight children, who also include his oldest children Sarah, Kimberly and Sean.

Aiden is the youngest of Rod's kids, being born when the rocker was 66 – in stark contrast to Rod's first child who was born in 1963 when Rod was still a teenager.

Rod Stewart and his then-partner Susannah Boffey had a daughter called Sarah Streeter, who was given up for adoption and raised by couple Gerald and Evelyn Thubron.
