Thecanaryfan 0 Posted July 9, 2011 Just an observation really but interesting none the less.Elliott Ward, Elliott Bennett and Anthony Pilkington all have brothers that play proffesional football.Cant think of many other professional footballers who share the same trait - Ferdinand, Neville, Wright Phillips, Toures.So is quite unusual.

Guest Posted July 10, 2011 Marc Tierney''s brother Paul also used to play in the professional leagues, and was at Livingston under PL. I also remember Hucks leaving the boot in on him in the FA Cup replay against Blackpool under Peter Grant, was lucky not to be sent off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thecanaryfan 0 Posted July 12, 2011 To summerise - Im guessing we are the only club who have 4 players who have brothers who play professional football. Irrelevant it may be, but I still think its interesting. Would be suprised if any other proffesional club could say the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
