My Dad and I played in the same side in a 5 a side(ish) game on Blackheath in 1961 with jumpers for goal posts. I think we won about 19-14. As an enthusiastic 8 year old, I bagged 4 or 5 of the goals.
Something you would never expect to hear on a football pitch. "Grandad, over here". Walking football we had Grandad, his daughter and her son all playing. All good players as well. Often played alongside my son which is so fantastic.
We are an exception in allowing anyone to play on our Saturday morning game. I think I took the FA "football for all" a bit too literally, but it is good fun!
Remember the two goalkeepers that Ron Greenwood couldn't make a decision over when he was managing England? They are both on this list: Peter Shilton and Sam Shilton - Plymouth Ray Clemence and Stephen Clemence - Spurs
Alan Ball Snr and Alan Ball Jnr both at Blackpool I think.

Thinking about it, very few of our former players have had sons who also played the game. From the last 30 years, Rob Lee's two sons came through at West Ham, while Mark Kinsella's son is at Walsall
Whilst this is rather obscure, Mike Ammann's son Arie is currently playing college football in the US, following a spell with Watford. He's also a goalkeeper.
