Brooklyn turned 16 today, and of course dad David, 39, didn’t forget.
The retired footballer posted two pictures to Facebook, with the caption: “Happy birthday to my big boy xx”
One of the snaps in current, showing the father and son in a tender moment, and the other shows tiny baby Brooklyn on the football pitch with his daddy.

Speaking recently of his son’s birthday plans, David said: “I think [Brooklyn] wants to go for dinner with his friends and he’ll have a separate dinner with his family.
“He’s at the age now when he doesn’t want me to drop him outside the school and things, which I definitely do anyway!”
As you would expect, Brooklyn has been lavished with gifts for his sweet sixteenth – but he received a present from a very unlikely source.
Taking to Instagram this morning, Brooklyn posted a picture of some trainers still in their box.
He wrote: “Thanks Kanye for the yeezys [sic].” As in Kanye West, for anybody who didn’t make the connection.
Happy 16th birthday Brooklyn – we hope you have a wonderful day!
