When he headed to Birmingham, England, he brought 10-year-old Prince George with him.
He’s since passed his love of the game on to his royal heir.
Along with sharing their appreciation for kicks and goals, father and son also share some pretty strong genes.

When their team was in trouble, the two put their palms on their faces.
When a goal was scored, they smiled and celebrated with the same look of glee.
And when things got intense, they clapped their support with similar looks of concentration.

Father and son share the same rounded cheeks, chins, eyes, and sandy hair color.
There’s also a personality resemblance.
He keeps me on my toes.
But he’s a sweet boy."
