I read recently that Harry Boyes had a great-grandad who was capped for England but I'm not certain of this.

I remember it was reported several times when we signed him that Jon-Paul McGovern was the son of Forest legend John, but according to Silent Blade this is not the case!
 

Chris Armstrong's brother Gordon played for Sunderland and was involved in Glyn Hodges sending off in 1991.

John Fleck's uncle Robert was a star for Rangers and Norwich in the 90s.
 
George Baldock’s brother Sam, who retired last year, played for various clubs as a striker, the last being Oxford.

Andy and Rob Scott.

Bjorn Helge Riise - his brother, John, being the more famous one with his insanely powerful left footed strikes for Liverpool.
 

Harry Hooper was our captain in the 1936 FA Cup final. His son, Harry, played for West Ham, Wolves, Birmingham and Sunderland. He was in the England 1954 World Cup squad.
Joe Lievesley was our keeper after Willie Foulke and played for us until 1913. His son Leslie played for Doncaster, Manchester United, Torquay and Palace. After WW2 he was Torino's manager and died along with almost the entire Torino squad in the 1949 air crash

Substitutes were first introduced in the league for the 1965-66 season only if the departing player is injured. Tony was our first substitute to come on at Fulham in September 1965 replacing the injured Alan Birchenall.

A few months later the league decided that a substitute could come on the pitch to replace a player even if the departing player wasnt injured because there were already too many substituted players who didnt seem injured and there was a suspicion that clubs were bending the rule.
