Owen wrote on "Welcome to adulthood son. I’m incredibly proud of the man you’ve become. #18."

Reguilon commented, "Dad?", implying that he and James almost look similar.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The similarities between James and Reguilon are indeed striking and several football fans were won over the Spaniard's tongue-in-cheek humour.

One fan asked: "Your son is Reguillon?."

Whereas, another posted: "'Nice try, just admit Owen asked you for a photo Sergio."

DID YOU KNOW?

Owen's son has been suffering from Stargardt disease since the age of eight which has left him clinically blind. Stargardt disease is a rare genetic condition characterized by the accumulation of fatty material on the macula, which is essential for sharp, central vision. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Stargardt disease at present.
