David Beckham didn’t know how to react when daughter was run into on football pitch

It seems Harper Beckham could be following in her dad's footsteps

David Beckham is a dad of four, but he’s a dad to only one daughter – and she’s also the youngest.

So, we can easily assume she’s his little princess.

David and Harper, 12, seem to have a very close and sweet relationship, with him long sparking debates for kissing her on the lips.

But he’s also previously spoken out about not quite knowing how to be her dad in public.

More specifically, on the football pitch.

David is obviously one of English football’s biggest names, playing for both the country and the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid, before now being president of Inter Miami.

And it’s not really something that seems to have been passed down to all of his kids.

Beck’s middle son Romeo, 21, currently plays for Brentford B team, but eldest Brooklyn, 24, gave it up as a teen – same with Cruz, 18.

However, as well as being known as a big fan of the Lionesses, it seems Harper enjoys having a kick about.

In a previous interview on The Graham Norton Show, David spoke about not knowing quite how to behave as a dad on the side lines.

He explained ‘it’s down to Harper’ after the majority of his sons stopped pursuing football and recalled a previous training session.

He said: “So, Harper’s doing really well, she’s kind of dribbling with the ball. And then this boy runs into her.

“And I was like, ‘What?’ I was looking around at the other parents thinking, how do I react? Do I like, be a UNICEF ambassador and be like, ‘No, it’s OK, that’s fine’? Or do I be Harper’s daddy and be like, ‘Really?’

“So, I just let it go.”

Harper and her dad are very close.

David shares his four kids with fashion mogul Victoria, who he has been with since 1997.

The pair star in the recently released Netflix documentary series Beckham.

Giving ‘unprecedented access’ to both the couple and ‘his family, his friends and his team-mates’, it delves deep into the football star’s life.

In the synopsis, Netflix says: “The series takes you on that rollercoaster and builds a surprising, personal and definitive story of one of the most recognisable and scrutinised athletes of all time.”

It adds: “The result is an intimate portrait of a man as well as a chronicle of late-modern sports and celebrity culture."

Throughout the series, it explores themes such as David’s 1998 World Cup red card, his alleged affair and his life with OCD.
