WAYNE Lineker shared photos and made a gushing tribute while celebrating his rarely-seen adult son’s milestone birthday.
The Ibiza beach club owner and entrepeneur, 62, has four children.
Taking to Instagram, Wayne shared a poignant message marking his eldest son, Duane, turning 40.
He shared photos of the two together from over the years.
Wayne penned: “Happy birthday Duaney. Love you beyond infinity.
“My first son and 40 years later never once have you not made me proud.
“Just weeks ago I was speaking about you to a mutual friend and he said to me these words, ‘Duane is everything you can ever dream of in a son.’
“He could not have said anything that can explain my love and my respect for you than this as it’s the truth.”
Continuing, he added: “You are also everything you can ever dream of in a husband, a father, a brother and a friend.
“Thank you for all the care, the love and the happiness you have brought to your Dad’s life.
“We all laugh as you should be the father and me the son.”
In addition to being Wayne’s son, Duane is also his partner in several businesses.
Wayne’s other children are sons Sean and Freddie as well as daughter Tia.
Earlier this month, he issued an heartbreaking plea to elder brother Gary in a bid to end their bitter feud.
He has been estranged from the soon-to-be former Match of the Day host since 2008.
In his caption, Wayne insisted the brothers’ late parents would want them to be close again.
