Award-winning former English footballer, David Beckham was nearly brought to tears when his son, Brooklyn told him he would no longer be playing football which would have given him ample chance to walk in his father’s footsteps. According to David, the boy’s reason broke his heart.
The 16-year-old was recently a prospect at Arsenal’s youth academy along with two of his younger brothers.
However, Brooklyn was not offered a scholarship to remain with the academy this season and according to DailyMail, the Arsenal youth coaches felt other players at his position (right midfield) “are more advanced in their development” at the same age.
Brooklyn Beckham could very well still be able to continue his football career but his father has confirmed that the young starlet is ready to hang up his boots.
Beckham said, “One of my boys turned around to me the other day and said, ‘Daddy, I’m not sure I want to play football all the time,'” Beckham told an ABC news interviewer. “It broke my heart a little bit. He said, ‘Every time I step on to the field, I know people are saying, This is David Beckham’s son,’ and if I am not as good as you, then it is not good enough.'”
