Holden McGroin 6783 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) I just saw a post in General about a little lad. His dad is Aguero, his grandpa is Maradona and his godfather is Messi. Has there ever been a pro footballer who was better than his father. Jordi Cruyff - No Scott Gemmil - No Nigel Clough - No? Was Craig Burley better than his dad?

PaddockLad 17643 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Craig Burley was almost certainly better than his dad. His uncle George on the other hand was a key player in Sir Bob's Ipswich Town side. Not sure of his father's occupation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17643 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Michael Owen's old man was a player...cant remember who for so its pretty safe to say that that Micheal was better than his old man...its not known if his old man was an equine obsessed malingering cunt in the latter years of his career though...
