Real Madrid star Bellingham celebrated his 21st birthday on Saturday (June 29), and wasted no time in responding to a whole host of birthday messages from big-name footballers. One of which was a sweet post from younger brother Jobe, but also Tottenham’s James Maddison, Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni, and Romeo Beckham, no less.

Sunderland player Jobe Bellingham posted in an Instagram story some photos of the two growing up together, and wrote: “My only brother, proud always and regardless. Happy 21st birthday big bro.”

InstagramEngland international James Maddison posted three photos of the duo together and put: “Happy birthday sheriff. One of a kind my mate.”

InstagramLos Blancos team-mate and France international Tchouameni wrote: “More life big boy,” while Romeo Beckham commented: “Happy birthday brotha.”

Bellingham has, arguably, gone onto become a world-class talent – five years after leaving Birmingham City for Borussia Dortmund. He helped Real Madrid win a La Liga and Champions League double and the midfielder is trying to help England win the Euros and end their international tournament hoodoo. Going by these messages, the 21-year-old is clearly an admired and well-respected individual.
