2) Chris and Stuart Broad

As a manager he was just as prolific - he won the League title with Derby and Nottingham Forest, as well as European Cups and League Cups with Forest. His son scored over 100 League goals for Forest and played for England 14 times.

And having spent 11 years as manager of Non-League Burton he became Derby boss in January where he has proved a chip off the old block.

His son Nicky, now 37, also played over 100 games for Swindon and Manchester City. He also played for England Under-21 and England B, but never made a bow for the full national team.

6) Alan and Jack Cork

The 19-year-old, a defensive midfielder, is currently on loan at Championship Watford - and has represented England from the Under-16 to the U-21s.

7) Graham and Damon Hill

Graham Hill won the world drivers' championship twice - in 1962 and '68 - and was the soave and dashing superstar the British public craved. Tragically he died in 1975, aged 46, when a plane he was piloting crashed in foggy conditions.

His only son, Damon, was 15 at the time and went on to clinch the Formula One World Championship in 1996.

8) Nigel, Leo and Greg Mansell

10) Barry and Shane McGuigan

Mirror columnist and boxing legend Barry McGuigan, 49, was crowned world featherweight champion in 1985 after he defeated Juan Laporte. His professional record was 32 wins (26 by knockout) and three losses.

Now McGuigan's son Shane is trying to continue where his dad, nicknamed the Clones Cyclone, left off. The 20-year-old is bigger and more powerful than his father. A welterweight, he goes by the name The Hurricane and won the Ulster senior welterweight champion last year.
