For Romeo Beckham, deciding to pursue a career as a professional footballer can’t have been an easy call.
As is the way with the children of any famous former athletes, comparisons with their parents are inevitable and bring with them added pressure.
Here though, he’s hardly helping himself.
Turning out for Inter Miami’s second string over the weekend, 19-year-old Romeo produced a free-kick which was eerily like something his father David would have produced during his playing days.
With his side 2-1 up against Orlando City’s reserves, Beckham dipped his set piece over the wall, curling it just inside the bottom corner of the goal.
Those watching will note that his stance and technique are remarkably similar to that of his dad, who scored many a free-kick during his own storied career.

Romeo’s father is one of the co-owners of Inter Miami, who are also coached by his former Manchester United teammate, Phil Neville.
Neville’s son, Harvey, is also on the books with the MLS side and played alongside Romeo in the game against Orlando.
