David Beckham rang into his fabulous 50s this weekend with several birthday tributes.
The retired footballer also got a sweet shoutout from the iconic ’90s girl band Spice Girls.
Taking to Instagram, the Spice Girls shared a photo of the former athlete, affectionately referring to him as their “original Spice Boy.”

“One of our original Spice Boys turns 50 today! Happy birthday @davidbeckham,” read the text that went along with two photos of him while Spice Up Your Life played in the background.
One of the photos showed the sports icon donning the official group merchandise with his wife Victoria’s photo and her “Posh” nickname printed on it. Another photo showed him rocking a blue Christmas Spiceworld jumper.
Victoria, his wife of nearly 25 years and mother of their four kids, also celebrated him in two loving tributes.
In one video, the Spice Girls alum is seen serenading David as they both sing and dance to Islands In The Stream by Dolly Parton. She labelled him her “best friend, soul mate, and dance partner for life” in the post.
She later shared a montage of memories with David since the pair first met in 1997 until their most recent life milestones. In the second tribute, she swooned, “When I look at this video I think ‘Wow, how lucky am I’. You’re everything I could have dreamed of and more. Happy 50th birthday David. I love you and our beautiful family endlessly. You complete me.”
Band guru Simon Fuller is reportedly in talks with Geri Horner to secure a deal for the pop band to make a musical comeback.
Emma Bunton, Mel B, and Mel C are said considering a world tour next year with Geri, but Victoria Beckham has reportedly “90 percent” ruled herself out.
