Once a professional footballer, Nicky played for Leeds, joining the team as a goalkeeper in 1995.

He was a member of the team when they won the FA Cup in 1997, but left two years later when his contract expired.

It appears that the singers twin boys are taking after their father when it comes to their sporting interests.

Nicky has also recently shared a photo of his other son, Jay, receiving a GAA kit from Gaelic footballers Dean Rock and Michael Shiel.

Nicky Byrne will be taking part in the star-studded charity football match, set to go ahead this Sunday.
