Arthur Rowley perhaps 

Only because brother Jack played for England 

[AyewJoking]

need some time line/cut off point

 

example: Wayne Lineker must surely be a better player than his dad at present

Nick Summerbee, unless someone's beat me to it

His dad was superb. Nick played for us for nothing during the administration period to help us out.  Legend in my eyes

Les Ferdinands cousin was decent. Ayew is possibly the third best in his family after his dad and brother. I'm sure there's other's . Paul Konchesky is vaguely related to John Terry through a marriage (not blood too) I seem to remember

Does Danny Ward have a son with no limbs? 

 

If so, him. 

Well he definitely has a son born in 2019. So on that criteria he’s definitely in

Scot Gemmill never made Ewan McGregor climax in a film, unlike his old man, so I'll say him.

Dennis Wise was regularly mistaken for being the kid brother of our former loanee Paul Kerr,  Juan.

Got to be included. His dad Ernie was the better player plus the plays wot he wrote were better than anything Dennis produced

Does Matt Mills count?

 

Matt Elliott's son-in-law. Though I think they're divorced now.

 

Maybe he's Gary Mills' nephew as well. Who knows.

[ajthefox]

Marcus Bent wasn't as good as Darren Bent

[fazzyfox]

Dean Sturridge was better than brother Simon (Birmingham City) but not as good as nephew Daniel.

Was there a Steph Oakes / Scott Oakes connection?

Steph playing for us, but Scott probably being better.

nonsense. obviously Stef was better. 

[Aus Fox]

Wayne Brown wasn’t as good as his brother Wes.

 

[Aus Fox]

Does Chris Wood and Nigel Pearson count? Does shagging someone’s daughter make you family?

GK - Kasper 

DL - Luke Thomas (assuming he has brothers/sisters)

DC - Amartey (I'm going out on a limb and assuming his son is better)

CF - Jordan Ayew

 

I've contributed 4. Can someone fill out the XI? 

Luke Thomas! Excellent..

Feel like we need Sam McMahon on the list. 6 appearances & 1 goal for Leicester in the 1990s before moving onto the mighty Cambridge United.

Didn't quite hit the heights his father Steve McMahon hit...
