David had a bitter feud with his own father, Ted, in 2005 which led to the pair not speaking for two years. It was only when Ted suffered a near-death health scare in 2007 that they began to work to fix their broken relationship.

David, 50, and Ted, 77, have remained close ever since, but the former footballer - who with former teammate and close friend - does not want to go down the same route with Brooklyn.

A close friend of David told : "David and the family genuinely fear Brooklyn could be lost to them forever. The word 'lost', here, is especially poignant as it was the exact sentiment used when David fell out with his dad.

"Ted believed his son would never speak to him again, and he was heartbroken. It was an extremely tense few years, and devastated the whole family."

Brooklyn and his wife have been notably absent from family gatherings in recent months, having snubbed both of David's 50th birthday parties. They also failed to acknowledge either David or Victoria's birthday's on social media.

Brooklyn is also said to no longer be on speaking terms with his brother Romeo after they fell out over his sibling's girlfriend Kim Turnbull.
