I think what the OP is getting at is the 6 degrees of seperation theory.

here's an overview https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation

Easy!

Jack Robinson - Steven Gerrard Liverpool
Steven Gerrard - Fernancdo Torres Liverpool
Fernando Torres - Diego Simeone Athletico Madrid
Diego Simeone - Maradona Sevilla

Easier than that.

I've just spent 20 minutes trying to go from Jack Robinson to Pele but I've given up.

I managed to work backwards from Pele to Keith Eddy and then my brain became a sea of dates, I don't know how you do it!

Easy...

Pele Escape to victory
Russell Osman Escape to victory and Cardiff City 1996
Jeff Eckhardt Cardiff City 1996 - Sheffield United 1987
Chris Wilder Sheffield United 1987 and 2025
Jack Robinson Sheffield United 2025

It's not really cheating......
