Phil Collins’ footballer son Matthew shared a rare Instagram snap with his father as he supported him at a game this weekend.
The sporting star, 20, plays for Austrian side WSG Tirol and musician Phil, 74, was in the crowds on Sunday to see him play.
Wearing his green and white football kit Matthew beamed next to his famous dad who wore a casual outfit.
Matthew captioned his post: ‘big wins today!’ as he put his arm around Phil. Phil has five children with Matthew the youngest of them.
His proud half sister, the actress Lily Collins, reshared the post and penned over the top: ‘I love everything about this’ along with a white heart emoji.
The English footballer signed a contract with WSG Tirol in 2023.
Phil Collins’ footballer son Matthew shared a rare Instagram snap with his father as he supported him at a game this weekend
He played for Hannover’s U19s earlier in his career but after the German club released him, he went on to impress on trial in Austria.
Previously revealing his shock at the player’s lineage, coach Manuel Ludwiger said: ‘We Google the players we take on trial to find out about their past careers.
‘It was only then that we found out Matthew is Phil Collins’ son.
‘We haven’t signed him as a publicity stunt. It is purely down to his footballing ability.’
Phil isn’t Matthew’s only superstar relative, however.
His half sister Lily has made it big as an actress, most notably in the lead role in Emily in Paris.
Several years ago, rock great Phil opened up on his son’s passion for sport.
‘Matt loves music, but loves his football even more,’ he said.
‘He is certain he’ll turn professional. ‘The other day he said, “Another five years and I’ll be gone”.

‘He also looks at everything, Bundesliga, French league, everything.’
Lily is back filming the next season of Emily In Paris just three months after welcoming daughter Tove with husband Charlie McDowell.
In her post at the time Lily expressed her ‘infinite gratitude’ towards the surrogate who helped her become a mother.
But after sharing an image of newborn Tove on Instagram, the actress was attacked online, with many accusing her of being part of a growing ‘unethical’ A-list trend.
The backlash was so severe that US film producer Charlie released a statement asking people to spend ‘less time spewing hateful words’ as he said no one will know the true motivations behind why the couple chose to use a surrogate.
