The former England captain Beckham is currently without a club after leaving Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the Major League Soccer season and was pictured on Twitter at the Blues' Surrey training base.

His attendance for the Under-14 fixture at the home of the Champions League winners will undoubtedly lead to speculation Brooklyn is in line to follow in his father's footsteps to play football at the highest level.

Yet David and his wife Victoria would be reluctant to heap pressure on any of their four children. The 37-year-old has enjoyed a successful career with Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy and Milan, while also accumulating 115 England caps.

David also played a prominent role in the delegation sent to Singapore which helped to secure the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games for London. It is still to be determined whether, and where, David will continue his own footballing career.
