Romeo Beckham, son of David Beckham, played for Inter Miami’s reserve team in his professional debut on Sunday night as Fort Lauderdale drew 2-2 with South Georgia Tormenta.
Playing 79 minutes on the right wing, like his father did during his footballing career for the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid and England, the 19-year-old gave his team several chances to score goals.
Beckham, wearing the number 11 shirt, played alongside ex-Manchester United trainee Harvey Neville, the son of Phil Neville who manages Miami’s first team.
Miami owner Beckham appointed his former Manchester United and England teammate Neville as head coach in January following a spell as England Women boss.
Miami are currently ninth in the Eastern Conference of the MLS, after a 4-0 defeat to New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
