Third-time father David Beckham has had the name of his baby son Cruz sewn into his football boots.

The British football captain was snapped wearing the custom-made shoes during a Champions League match between Real Madrid and Juventus, according to Sky News.

Beckham, who has a multimillion- pound contract with boot manufacturers Adidas, already has the names of his two sons, Brooklyn and Romeo, embroidered on his boots.

In 2002 the pin-up football player sparked controversy with animal rights groups by having his baby son's name stitched on to a pair of kangaroo skin football boots.

Known for his superstitious beliefs, Beckham, 29, is reported to have used feng shui symbols to improve his football performance.
