Watford sign Bergkamp's and Pochettino's sons

[lancs blue]

You could start the makings of a half decent team of City players whose dads were footballers:

Kasper Schmeichel
Frank Lampard
Peter Barnes
Nicky Summerbee (could even include his dad Mike at a stretch)
Shaun Wright-Phillips
Leroy Sane

I’m sure there will be some I’ve forgotten. A bit forward-heavy but struggling to remember any defenders.
Hopefully a certain Norwegian striker to add to that this summer

Should I mention Nigel Clough?

I wish you hadn’t given his performances but I suppose he must be included. Another forward

Interesting, I thought Docherty only made it to the reserves but apparently made 8 first team appearances in 1976

A little quirk is that Mick Docherty played only that handful of games for us and two were in derby matches against the team managed by his father. We sold him to Sunderland, where he did reasonably well until injury ended his career 3 or 4 years later - albeit he played for them mainly in the old second division.

My memory of him is that he didn't look good enough for a team of the quality we were back then. But if we'd had a team of the pedigree we had for much of the subsequent 30-odd years, he'd probably have been one of the better players! ;)
