Blair Sturrock.

Dad was a Dundee United legend, and played in the World Cup for Scotland.

Blair is a lower league "striker" who has so far managed to get signed by Dundee United (who were managed by Paul Sturrock), Plymouth (managed by Paul Sturrock), Swindon (managed by Paul Sturrock) and is currently continuing his non-lethal striker's role at Southend, who are managed by...er...Paul Sturrock.

Great job, Blair!

Alex Bruce to be fair had a lot to live up to. Not sure who is stupider out of Rio and Anton, Rio probably edges it.

I was going to add Carl Hoddle to this but when I Googled him I was horrified to find he died at 40yo, I expect I'm the only poster on here who did not know.

I was told by his P E teacher that Ricardo Gabbiadini was actually a much better player than Marco - shame that the potential was never quite fulfilled

Sam Shilton (son of Peter)

Stephen Clemence (son of Ray)

To be honest, I just wanted an excuse to post this very slightly homoerotic photo of their old men:ohmy:

OK - here's one for the Albion anoraks.
Mark or Simon Fox or were both equally as bad ?

Adam Virgo or James Virgo too - I think James only played a couple of games as a non contract player
All the multitudinous Hinshelwoods that there have been

I'm trying to think of what the circumstances might have been in which the pair of them actually thought it would be a better photo with their shirts off (but jeans on) :lolol:

Ali Dia wasn't actually related to anyone famous was he, he just mugged Graeme Souness into thinking he was (and that that somehow made him more likely to be good).

Edinho son of Pele, Not only was he a goalkeeper (Like his father as a kid) he was a pretty shit one too. Edinho also spent time in jail for drug trafficking & his part in a street race that resulted in someone dying
