Football icon Gary Lineker's 17-year-old son Tobias has sent social media into a frenzy after showcasing his striking similarity to his famous father in recent photos.
The teenager, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight, shared snaps that reveal an uncanny family resemblance - from the cheeky grin to those familiar facial features that made his dad one of England's most recognisable sports personalities.
Like Father, Like Son
Fans couldn't help but comment on how Tobias appears to be the spitting image of Gary in his younger days. "The genes are strong with this one!" wrote one astonished follower, while another added: "It's like looking at young Gary all over again."
The Mirror Football host, known for his prolific goal-scoring career and later broadcasting success, has five sons from previous relationships. Tobias is his youngest with ex-wife Danielle Bux.
Following in Famous Footsteps?
While it's unclear if Tobias shares his father's footballing talents, the physical similarities have certainly got people talking. Gary, who remains one of England's most beloved sports personalities, frequently shares glimpses of family life with his 8.7 million Twitter followers.
The 62-year-old Match of the Day presenter has previously spoken about the challenges of parenting in the public eye, but seems to have successfully shielded Tobias from excessive media attention - until now.
These latest photos prove that when it comes to the Lineker family, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Whether Tobias will follow his father into football or broadcasting remains to be seen, but one thing's certain - he's already inherited those famous Lineker looks.
