Just found this link on a news site. Anybody think of anymore. Think the Robledo's played for the mags about 100 years ago or summat. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/footballs-best-brothers-30-soccers-5484963
You're right about the Robledos, Billy. George got a cup winners medal in the 1951 cup final against Blackpool. The following year, both George and Ted Robledo got cup winners medals against Arsenal, and George scored the winning goal. Both ended up Chilean internationals. I'm surprised the article didn't pick up on a unique Welsh international game about 1955. Wales had John and Mel Charles playing for them. But playing in the same team the same day were Ivor and Len Allchurch. I think that's the only time two sets of brothers have played in the same international team. Slightly off-topic. There's only ever been one case of father and son gaining FA Cup winners medals. In 1933, Jimmy Dunn played in Everton's cup winning team alongside e.g. 'Dixie' Dean and Ted Sagar. But in 1949, his son - also called Jimmy - got a winner's medal playing for Wolves. It's the only case of father and son doing it.
Bloody Hell Relic! You're either a dab hand at research, got a massive brain full of footballing trivia, or you ARE Wikipedia!
It's all memory mate. Comes from having no t.v. or computers as a kid. Your favourite entertainment was reading football annuals, and Charles Buchan's Football Monthly.
These two liked to knock balls around together http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ROTHERS-taking-DNA-test-Jeremy-Kyle-show.html
Allan & Wayne Clarke Marco and can't remember the name oh ****o Gabbiadini.. The Hennesey's when I was a kid, again don't remember their names but I think one was called Terry.. Eddie Gray & Frank Gray..
Here's another one for you Relic Who played for both Sunderland and Newcastle on the same day ? Hows your memory because you can't google it.
I believe Albert Stubbins did it several times in war-time games. But that was quite common at the time and I'll be surprised if you can't find half a dozen players who did the same if you look for them.. Len Shackleton sometimes used to play for Bradford City and Bradford Park Avenue on the same day as well. During war-time, civilian travel was kept to a minimum to allow clear access for war effort things (from military movement to food distribution, etc.). So players contracts were placed in abeyance for the duration of the war. A player was allowed to play for any club he might be stationed near. Stubbins was contracted to Newcastle but chose to play a lot of games for Sunderland, (including, I think, a war-time cup final against Wolves which we lost - but I'm pretty shakey on that so don't quote me!) After the war, Newcastle sold Albert to Liverpool for a then record fee of £13,000. Enjoy tomorrow all.
