Brothers in Arms

[roversdude]

Twins? Ex-Rover James Chambers, surely he's played with or against his brother Ashley at some stage?

Adam

Think they played against us a couple of years ago

[Bessie Red]

Must be a few of the Rankines (and other close family members) who have played professionally

[Filo]

Must be a few of the Rankines (and other close family members) who have played professionally

Mark Rankine, Dessy Rankine and Danny Rose are all related, I think there maybe a Rankine playing in non league that was on Rovers books at one time as well

[Branton Rover]

I have a funny story about the Nelthorpe brothers Adam & Craig.

Alan 'Ginner' Edwards well known Rovers fan from Woodlands was speaking to one of the Nelthorpes & he said & I quote "Is it you i'm talking to, or are you your brother".

Priceless from Ginner

[roversdude]

Dessy was one hell of a player

[graingrover]

ex ROVER John FLOWERS had a brother Ron who played for Wolves and England.
  Also Comptons in the 50's

Alan, Stephen and Keith Quinn were all on the books with the Blunts at one stage or another.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard has a younger brother Thorgan who plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach.

De Boer's and Laudrup's were handy back in the Day!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Remember the Futcher twins?

Also the Greenhoffs at Man U.

Dessy was one hell of a player

I'm sure I played against him once in a Sunday league game. I had to mark him but came nowhere close. Needless to say we lost the match

[Dutch Uncle]

Going way back I remember QPR had twins called Morgan - Ian & Roger I think, a left and right winger. This was when Rodney Marsh was playing for them. One went to Man U I think.

Cyril Knowles (Spurs legend, immortalised by the phrase/song nice one Cyril) had a brother Peter who played for Wolves, and then gave up the game for  religious reasons (Jehovah's Witness I think).

[roversdude]

Cyril ended up being one of ours didn't he

[Dutch Uncle]

Cyril ended up being one of ours didn't he

He was our first team coach from 1977 to 1981

[Campsall rover]

Cyril ended up being one of ours didn't he

He was our first team coach from 1977 to 1981

From Hemsworth. Died vey suddenly under the age of 50 if I remember correctly.

[roversdude]

Thought I'd remembered that his sister or close relation worked at school when I was younger

[Filo]

Cyril had a brain tumor, so I would n't imagine it was sudden, you might be thinking of the sudden death of Les Cocker who I think died around the same time

[glosterred]

The Greenoff brothers, Jimmy and Brian played together at MUFC

[BobG]

I never could get used to seeing Jimmy Greenhoff in red shirts. He was a fixture at Stoke City and then suddenly legged it up the M6. It just never looked right! Good player though.

BobG

[glosterred]

Thought there was a fair amount of red on the Stoke shirt

[Filo]

Bob had a Black and White TV before he moved to Man Utd 😀😀😀😀
