Father and son's playing for United

[derfblade.3]

Just read a link on Facebook regarding Tommy Hoyland being the oldest ex player still alive in his 90s.
His son Jamie followed in his footsteps to play for the Blades but are their any other combinations of father and son to play for us, or for other clubs.?

Never! Why has someone like Sky Sports never jumped on the opportunity to say this, I feel this needs to be mentioned several times a game.

Nice guy Jamie Hoyland and a true Blade but you only ever noticed him if he was wrapped in bandages.

The Wagstaff brothers played for The Blades in the 1960s, I think. Tony and forgot his brother's first name.

Does Brian Arblaster (Oli's grandad) count given he never made a first-team appearance?

Nearly played for the first team in late 1963 but we brought Des Thompson back from Buxton

If we sign Jack Cork or Archie Gray we could add to the list…

You don't get many fathers/sons who are both keepers. Ray Clemence's son played midfield for one!

Steve's other son Craig made one appearance for Notts County, on loan from Wendy where he was a trainee.

We had John Paul McGovern for a very unremarkable loan spell in 02/03. His dad was famously part of the (spit) Notts Forest side who won the European Cup.
