The son of David and Victoria Beckham took to his Instagram account to thank the rapper for sending him a pair of his beige trainers, which appear to be from his Adidas Yeezy 750 Boost range, a pair of which can sell for more than $1,500.

He wrote: "Thanks Kanye for the yeezys (sic)"

David - who also has kids Romeo, 12, Cruz, nine, and three-year-old Harper with Victoria - also joined in the celebrations by treating his fans to a flashback picture of himself and Brooklyn - who turns 16 today (04.03.15) - on his Facebook account.

The former footballer shared an image of himself and his son both wearing Manchester United kits while walking around the Old Trafford pitch in 2000 after clinching his fifth Premier League title medal, which then-13-month-old Brooklyn is wearing in the picture.

He also posted another image of him giving his eldest son a kiss on the head and captioned the images: "Happy Birthday to my big boy xx (sic)"

Brooklyn may well have been left embarrassed by David's throwback picture as the 39-year-old star recently revealed his son always asks him to "park around the corner" when he drops him off at school.

He said: "My eldest Brooklyn, who is 16 in March, he says, 'Dad, park around the corner.' And then he gets out and walks around the corner.

"He did it to me the other day after doing it five times on the trot, so I'm driving round and he's just walking into school, and I open the window and go, 'Brooklyn, I love you.' Obviously it didn't go down so well.

"Victoria did have to remind them the other day that actually they've got quite a cool dad, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference."
