👨‍👦 Five father-son combinations who took football by storm | OneFootball

With news of Marcus Thuram joining Borussia Mönchengladbach, it got us thinking.

What other famous footballers have sons plying their trade in the sport and could they even outshine them?

Here are five father-son combinations to keep an eye out for…

Peter and Kasper Schmeichel

Peter Schmeichel was one of the best goalkeepers in football history.

Over 20 honours at club level and a European Championship in 1992, Kasper had big gloves to fill.

We think winning the Premier League with Leicester is a fair achievement!

George and Timothy Weah

You’d do well to find a more iconic footballer than George Weah.

Not only did he score goals for fun, but he remains the only African to be named FIFA Footballer of the Year and win the Ballon d’Or in the same year.

Timothy – who secured a €10m move to Lille this summer – has the perfect mentor to follow.

Cesare and Paolo Maldini

Imagine these two at the heart of defence – would anyone score against them?

Cesare won 4 Serie A titles and one European Cup, but was completely overtaken by his son Paolo who is still considered an all-time great.

“If I have to make a tackle, it means I have made a mistake”… what rubbish! Both were brilliant at what they did.

Mazinho and Thiago and Rafinha

As footballing families go, imagine the honours on this mantlepiece.

Mazinho had an impressive career, winning the 1989 Copa América and 1994 World Cup with Brazil.

And then his twins came along! Thiago currently stars for Bayern, while Rafinha continues to ply his trade at Barcelona.

Patrick and Justin Kluivert

The Boy Wonder produces a Boy Wonder himself!

Patrick was clinical and is still the youngest ever goalscorer in a European final (18y 327d) after netting for Ajax against Milan in 1995.

Justin also played for Ajax, but made history for Roma after becoming their youngest ever scorer in the modern Champions League. Goals.
