David Beckham watches his sons play football

David Beckham's son Brooklyn is developing an eye for the ladies.

The 12-year-old is starting to notice the opposite sex and David admits that it's 'scary' to see how grown up his eldest is.

The LA Galaxy footballer, 36, said: '[It's] scary because I can see Brooklyn getting different interests.

'Wanting to go out with his friends, wanting to talk about girls, growing up into a young man.'

But David - who also has sons Romeo, nine, and Cruz, six, as well as baby daughter Harper with wife Victoria - is glad that his last-born will have big brothers to protect her.

He told the Telegraph Magazine: 'I must admit I would rather it be three boys than three girls.

'By the time Harper is a teenager she's going to have three older brothers that are going to be, well, men.'

The former Manchester United star showed just how protective he can be when he got 'sent off' for sticking up for a child whilst watching son Romeo play football in Los Angeles.

During an appearance on the Jonathan Ross Show, David said: 'I was watching the kids play the other day, it was the game just before they were playing.

'It was the younger kids of Romeo's club, and they're playing in the game and there was a penalty given. And the kids are seven-years-old and he sent the kid off.

'And I was like, 'Come on, he's seven-years-old, referee, you can't send him off'. And he looked at me and was like, 'Yes, I can'. And I was like, 'Ok, well, you can't, he's seven-years-old'.

'And he came over and gave me a red card. He told me to get out of the park. For real. The gate was only 20 yards away and I waited and went back in when my son's game was on.'
