I'll start us off with a few obvious ones.

Alan Ball
Kevin Ball
Peter BoNETti

There must be plenty more no doubt. Can't you tell I'm bored with the match.

I'm fairly sure that Danny Invincible, wasn't.

Ted Stryker flew the plane in Airplane. Not sure if he had any footballing relatives?

Neil Back played rugby football, if that counts.
