David Beckham's Match for Children at Old Trafford produced a moment to remember on Saturday as the English icon made way for his own son in the second half.

Beckham, who spent the entirety of his time on the pitch convincing onlookers he's still quite the footballer, shared a special moment with his son Brooklyn when his old manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, made a substitution in the 75th minute.

It was the perfect way to cap off an otherwise brilliant evening for David. The English legend was given a rousing round of applause by the Old Trafford faithful, who have been somewhat starved for entertaining football as of late.

They loved him so much that a few minutes later, the elder Beckham came back into the match, replacing Sol Campbell, just for fun.
