Both Chris Guthrie and Peter Watson's brothers played in the 1973 Sunderland cup winning side.

The following yeards cup final had Glenn Keeley playing for Newcastle who I am sure was related in some way to John. He was certaiinly from Bazzo anyway.

That was unkind of his parents, not coming up with a name for him. Was he known to his mates as "The Riddler"?

Was Jimmy Corbett in any way related to Harry or Matthew?

Only when you had your hand up his backside.
 
Mitchell Cole I do believe is the love child of Nat King Cole.
Che Wilson is the son of Bryan Wilson. This comes as no suprise as Che actually plays a combination of instruments including the harp and double bass, and can be found (at a very young age obviously) playing maracas on Pet Sounds.
Wayne Gray is actually married to Macy Gray, but she likes to keep it quiet for her sake. Being married to the new Pele has it's demands.
Clint Eastwood used to keep it quiet that he had a son through a brief relationship with a waitress from Mario's in Bas Vegas, but I hear he's been rather proud of our Freddy of late.
And James Lawson is still embarrassed that his Dad, Nigel, made a mockery of the Conservative cabinet and is aware that his continued goal scoring will only increase the research into his father's past, thus heaping more embarrassment on the lad. Something he could well do without. I hear James is even considering quitting the game altogether, and working in his local Spa.
Other than that, no famous relatives at all.
Rather disappointing really.
 
Brian Barry-Murphy (remember him from our glory days of finishing 17th in Div 3?) is the son of former GAA hurling hero Jimmy Barry-Murphy.

Barry-Murphy Senior is considered something of a legend in Cork GAA circles.

And isn't Kevin Maker the nephew of some legendary Gaelic Football player from Limerick or Tipperary (or somewhere).

Back to an earlier one I also think that Frank Lampard is the brother-in-law of Harry Redknapp and hence the uncle of Jamie.
