Newcastle had the robledo brothers though, one half of wyn Davies and Ron Davies who played for Wales together and one half of Kenny and Terry hibbitt who started together, I think.
Chelsea John and David hollins.
Some good calls there and we played against the Seeler brothers(Uwe and Dieter) for Hamburg in the European Cup in 60/61.

...not that they played together -
Viv and Martyn Busby. (Martyn played a handful of games for us on loan from QPR in 1980)

I'm 99.9% certain that they never played on the same senior team anywhere, nor did either of them play as pros alongside their middle brother Kevin; I have watched Andy playing in opposition to both Kev and Mike, but never seen Kevin and Mike on the same pitch and can't think of when they would've ever had the opportunity.
Whilst at one point all three were juniors/trainees at Notts Forest, they were 2-3 years apart in age, so I'd expect that even then they would always have been playing in different age groups.

If you ever need a pointless answer here's one you won't forget:

The Bender brothers when they started at 1860 Munich.

Long before the Premier League was thought of and only(I think) at international level...John and Mel Charles for Wales and Danny and Jackie Blanchflower for Northern Ireland.

Just remembered the Hoddle brothers Glen and Carl. Glen, of course, was a great player who had everything but apparently didn't defend enough. Carl played at Barnet in the early 90's.

I remember seeing an old photo from a Welsh International match late 1950's showing 2 sets of brothers who turned out for Wales: Mel & John Charles and Ivor & Len Allchurch.
That may be a first???

I once saw Barnet play at Chorley in the late 80s. They had Hoddle, Bull, Stein & Sansom all playing for them but they were all brothers or cousins (for Bull I think).
