Birthday Brooklyn turns 4

Any regular kid would celebrate his fourth birthday with a magician and a few mates in the living room but that's not the case if your name happens to be Brooklyn Beckham.

The little lad, who turns four today, is reported to be having a glitzy disco thrown in his honour.

The Beckham babe, named Brooklyn after the area of New York he was supposedly conceived in, has already had the kind of life a forty-year-old man can only dream of. With a footballing hero as a father and a Spice Girl for a mum he has, in the past four years, encountered the paparazzi, the Old Trafford stadium, two alleged kidnapping attempts and his parent's strange fashion sense.

Rumours about the tot’s birthday bash include allegations that players invited to the party have had a 9pm curfew imposed by Sir Alex Ferguson and that Brooklyn will be receiving a Shetland Pony from his mum and dad.
