Yeovil v Oldham

Gary Johnson and Lee Johnson line up against each other on the bench.

Have a father and son ever managed against each other before ?

    Clough junior was still playing when ol' big 'ead left Forest, wasn't he? Pretty sure Ferguson has never managed against his son, can't think of many others. This game
    means something to both teams as well - playoffs for Yeovil, avoiding the drop for Oldham.

    Yes. Read an article yesterday about this, can't remember the father and son, but the answer to your question is yes. It is was in the 60's.

    Apparently Bill Dodgins Snr lined up against Bill Dodgins Jnr four times when they managed Bristol Rovers and Fulham.

    Slightly off topic but Eidur Gudjonnsen came on as a sub for Iceland and replaced his Dad.

    Nigel left Forest at the end of the 1992-1993 season when Forest were relegated, and Brian retired, so no they never played/managed against each other.
    Watched Yeovil on Saturday weirdly, not a bad team, will struggle though if they do get promoted.
