The Charlie Sheringham thread plus George Hirst and Andre has me thinking about kids of footballers and if they ever live up to their dad's
We have
Sheringham Jr, no where near as good
Jamie Redknapp better than Harry?
Andre thus far not as good as his dad.
Charlie Savage
Romeo Beckham
Ianis Hadji
George Hirst all TBC but I'd wager the 1st 2 might struggle and whilst I think Hirst will have a fine career will he be as good as David Was?
Kasper Schmeichel has been a great GK but not matched his dad.
Isn't Paolo Maldinis kid supposed to be decent?
Shaun and Bradley Wright Phillips not a patch on actual Wrighty.
Who am I missing? |  |

Alan Ball had a more successful career than his dad. Also Alan Ball. |  | | |

Roy and Gary Bailey - both had excellent careers |
Roy's was, of course superior by virtue of winning the league with Town rather than Man U. Curiously they each played close to 300 games for their respective clubs, though only Gary went on to marry a former Miss Universe. | |

That's a fair point but I imagine Gary was very thankful about who Roy did marry! |  |

Alex Bruce! Shocker to forget him, good career, not as good as his dad.
Timothy Weah probably not going to as good as his dad was.
The Thuram brothers both being linked with PL clubs recently

Jordi Cruyff, Johann's boy.
Bit of a blessing and a curse really. You get attention you might not otherwise get, which sometimes leads to more opportunities, but also makes you an easy scapegoat. |

Frank Lampard (senior and junior) Junior probably had the more successful playing career. | |

Wait, George is David Hirst's son? I've obviously been living under a rock as I didn't know and hadn't put 2 and 2 together. In my defense, in my mind someone only a few years older than me couldn't possibly have a grown up child.
Oh my god I'm soooo old  | |

Eider Gudjohnsen followed in his father's footsteps, more or less literally, when he came on as his substitute in a game for Iceland. | | | |

Brian's career was cut short in its prime, so might well have gone on to win more. Call it a draw. |
Might?
My point was had.
If you weren't the big cheese around here I'd call you a blunt, and **** **** *****, what with meditation **** **** incredibly drunk! |  |

Darren Ferguson was a better player than his dad. Not quite as good a manager though. |  | | |

Daley Blind has outmatched his Dad Danny.
Doesn't Mart Poom's son play? |  |

Think Joel Nouble is already outdoing his older brother Frank, having a decent season in the Scottish Premiership at Livingston (seven goals in twenty six appearances). Surprisingly nimble for a big lad, I would suggest him as a target for Town next season but I know the predictable responses so I will keep that to myself...
Plays his international football for Cascardia, no I didn't know about them before I looked up his Wikipedia page either. [Post edited 18 May 2023 21:34]

Shaun Wright-Phillip’s son is also a professional for Stoke - D'Margio Wright-Phillips.
No idea how good he is - was on loan at Northampton this season - but has there ever been a Dad, son and grandson ever play for England? |  | | |
