    Boring question...

    Watching Wilson of Utd v Wilson of Hearts there... got thinking... what's the most number of players in a top flight game with the same surname do you think ?

    Many years ago the Yams keeper was Duff, and so were their other ten players.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Was watching a Poland match a while back and I'm pretty sure all but one of the players had -sson at the end of their names... Not exactly what you meant, I know...

    I think there were 3 Wallace brothers for Southampton at one time - pretty sure they played at the same time. Rod, Danny and A N Other.

    Greg, Graeme, Willie, Kenny and Alex Miller were all at Hibs at the same time for a brief period. Possibly.

    Having had to watch them play I would doubt they fall into the 'footballers' category

    Afaik in Iceland you take your surname from your father's first name and add ..sson.
    Therefore Einar Gudjonsson had a father Gudjon and Einar would have children with the surname Einarsson.

    Same in Sweden, Henrick Larsson's dad for example was called Lars.

    Again not really what you're asking but I'm sure recently St Mirren have had McGregor, McAusland, McGowen, McLean and McGinn all in the starting 11, quite unusual to have so many Mcs

    If he has a daughter her name will end with dottir but I'm not sure if its the mother or fathers name before it.

    There's a lot of the Difano brothers playing judging by the comments along the lines of "who is the number 27?" On occasions swear their first name is ****......
