There is plenty to be said for inheriting good sporting genes. Just ask AB de Villiers’ parents, both of whom were successful on the sports field in their younger years. Thanks guys, but could you not have had eight or nine children to shore up our middle order?

Sometimes it doesn’t matter who your old man is though, which is what Brooklyn Beckham found out after Premier League big boys Arsenal failed to renew his contract past the current season. All hope is not lost for the Beckham clan though, with the Daily Mail reporting:

Despite the decision not to retain him, Arsenal youth coaches still rate the teenager highly, but feel other players in his right midfield position are more advanced in their development at the club…

His brothers Romeo and Cruz are also enrolled at [Arsenal]. Cruz, 10, is said to be the most promising of the Beckham brothers.

I wouldn’t get too stressed young man, I don’t imagine a failed professional football career will see you out on the streets any time soon. Dad David is estimated to have a net worth of $350 million and mom Posh Spice made a fair few pounds off of one of the biggest blights on the 1990’s music scene.

Chin up lad.
