Clutching his trophy proudly with both hands, Cruz Beckham beamed broadly before his famous father.
The
nine-year-old looked delighted as his father presented him with the
gold prize following his team Foxes FC winning the under-9s cup final.
Wearing a tweed
cap and khaki jacket, former England captain David failed to hide his
pride as he congratulated Cruz for his success on Sunday morning.

morning cup match against local London rivals
During the match, David was seen chuckling on the sideline as Cruz celebrated a spectacular goal with a somersault in the rain.
And
as other parents cheered on their own sons, they took the opportunity to
capture a cheeky a snap of the famous former LA Galaxy star.
David,
38, famously practised his crosses and free-kicks for hours at Ridgeway
Park in Chingford with his father, Ted, during his early years, and he
has encouraged similar activities with his own children.

This
weekend, though, it was clear his efforts paid off as he handed Cruz
and fellow Foxes FC teammates an award for his efforts as wife Victoria,
40, and their youngest child, Harper, two, cheered on from the
sidelines.
The
Foxes cruised to victory with a 3-1 win against local rivals Sandgate
FC in the cup final and afterwards David handed out awards to the
players.
Last
month it was announced that keen footballer Cruz has joined his older
brother Romeo, ten, and signed for Arsenal's youth team, playing with
their under-9s.

The 45-year-old warehouse manager said: 'I couldn't believe it when Beckham showed up with his family.
'He stood there like any other dad - shouting encouragement at his son's team. Victoria was stood behind holding their daughter as well.

'Cruz is a good little player. He went through two of the opposition before putting the ball in the top corner - it was a really good goal.'
He added: 'His celebration was brilliant too - he did a somersault as he ran back to his own half. 'After the game, Beckham handed out trophies to the team and then posed for pictures.
'He was just like any other day. Victoria didn't stick around long though. Thomas really wanted a picture with her, which was a shame.
'It was nice to see Beckham acting like any other dad.

attracted attention from unsuspecting parents who took cheeky snaps of
him after the match
'He did say that he didn't want to get interrupted while his son was playing, but afterwards he posed for a few pictures.'
In the under-9s regional cup final, the little Foxes triumphed over Sandgate, with the second goal coming from Cruz.
Last month it was announced that keen footballer Cruz has joined his older brother Romeo, ten, and signed for Arsenal's youth team, playing with their under-9s.
Romeo is a Gunners fan and has been playing for the club’s under-11s team for the past few months. But now he is no longer the only one in the family to pull on the red and white jersey of the Arsenal, as Cruz has started training with the team.
A source close to the club said: 'It is already known that Romeo is a big Arsenal fan and he is a good player. He has been training with the team for a while now.
'But then it was spotted that Cruz has some talent too and he was asked whether he would like to start training with the club.
'He was thrilled and jumped at the chance. He has really impressed the coaches so far. He’s been training here for the last week and it is going so well it is quite possible it could become permanent for Cruz.'
The Beckham boys have been spotted at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium on numerous occasions this season, with David regularly taking Romeo.
David has also spent time with the club. He trained with them last summer to keep himself fit.
