Romeo bends it like Beckham

London, Aug 7: David Beckham's five year old son is following in his dad's footsteps, curving the ball into the net in a way that's almost identical to Becks' famous free kick.

Romeo Beckham kicked the ball across the old block at an American soccer school, in David's signature style shot, which had the onlookers open-mouthed.

"Romeo's free kick was uncanny - it looked just like his dad, his body shape was identical to David's as he hit it," the Sun quoted an onlooker, as saying.

Romeo, who was sporting his dad's number 23 t-shirt also brought back memories of Becks' wizardry in our 5-1 demolition of Germany in 2001.

Beckham, who says his Greece goal is his best, was on hand to pass on his skills to Romeo and brother Brooklyn, nine.
