coprolite Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Baldur Bett. Dons and Peterhead. Son of Jim. Presumably won't make either team but the criteria are all over the place so I thought I'd give it a shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Don’t know if it counts due to the name restriction but Jim Goodwin’s biological father was Ron Harris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Is Ryan Christie ruled out based on the fact that he's probably more famous already than Charlie ever was? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah not on that basis, Jackie McNamara is in the team despite being more successful than his dad. But it can be argued that Jackie Sr. was better known throughout his career than Charlie Christie and I'm basing the team on the reputation and abilities of the relative rather than the offspring. He's been placed in the honourable mentions column. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have been a shoo in if he'd picked to play for Scotland rather than Iceland. As it is though, Jim doesn't have the name power to let his boy force his way into the international XI. A reverse Sergei Baltacha, if you will. Sergei stoats it into the Scottish XI on the power of his old man's reputation but wouldn't have made it to the the international XI when up against the Seedorfs and Djorkaeffs of this world.

Aladdin Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 If Roger Boli, brother of Basil, doesn't make it in I'll be gutted. Signed by United in the late 90s, made a few underwhelming appearances, and disappeared. Edit to add Wikipedia claims we paid 150k for him. The money sloshing around at that time has a lot to answer for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Gordon Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Don't know if I've met the criteria here, but could Jamie Buchan (Aberdeen), son of Martin Buchan (Aberdeen & Man. U) be included? Interestingly (or not) Jamie Buchan's grandfather, Martin Buchan Snr., also played for Aberdeen, as well as his other son, George Buchan. @kingjoey @Jacksgranda @Sheep62 will correct me if I'm wrong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18May1991 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 When he was Motherwell manager, Billy Davies signed his brother, John. Now that was a universally well received signing by the ‘Well fans, especially when we got to watch him strut his stuff at Fir Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard the possibility that it is fake news before. 2 - Even if true, please put some respect on his name I remember Jimmy being a bit miffed when asked about him and claiming that he'd never heard of him. Suppose it's not outwith the realms that there's still a family connection somewhere and he definitely used the name to his advantage in his younger days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure George wouldn't have got too many, if any, starts with Manchester United. It's maybe my memory playing tricks on me, but I don't remember George getting too many starts with us. Loads of substitute appearances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I once read that George played less than 10 times for Man Utd but sure that at some point during those games both him and Martin would have been on the pitch together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
