Victoria Beckham may want her daughter Harper to follow in her own fashionable footsteps. But it looks like the tiny tot may take after her sporty father.

　　Little Harper was taken by several skateboard decks as she went shopping with her recently retired dad David Beckham in Venice Beach, Los Angeles on Tuesday. The one-year-old was seen pointing at the skateboards as her father held her in his arms during the outing.

　　Following his emotional departure from professional football earlier this month, the 38-year-old family man looked happy to be back in Los Angeles as he browsed around the skateboard shop with both Harper, and oldest son, Brooklyn.

　　Beckham is looking forward to life after football and spending some quality time with his family, that also includes wife Victoria and sons Romeo, 10, and Cruz, eight.

　　Speaking after last week's match, the star said: 'I want to say thank you to everybody in Paris - to my team-mates, to the staff, to the fans. It's been very special to finish my career here. It could not have been any more special.'

　　'I just feel that it's the right time (to retire). I feel that I've achieved everything that I could in my career. I wanted to go out as a champion. I've finished my career in a team that has treated me like I've been here for 10 years. After 22 years of playing football I'm going to take a few months to enjoy time with my family.'
