In the football world, we have seen so many famous iconic footballers' kids now playing in different leagues. Many of them are still young and some of them have hardly replicated the success their dads had - giving the papas all the bragging rights. Challenge is to prove the dad's wrong! so here are some father-son duos which one can take up and lead the sons to glorious victories their fathers had...

Nice Challenge - I don't have time to try them now, but I can see it would be appealing. I've actually wondered whether there are enough sons in the game that you could build a whole squad of just sons, but I'm not sure if that would be feasible. This is probably a much more sensible approach to using them! 🙂
