Father & Son for Burnley

Mellon having a good debut for Dundee got me thinking, if he was to make a first team appearance for us he would then have followed his father in doing so, but how many other father/sons have we had?

I can think of;
Derek & Chris/Paul Scott
Walter & Warren Joyce

Are there any others?

I was only commenting on the possibility, ie: a positive remark.

They weren’t father and son. I think they might have been cousins.

I don’t think there are any more than those listed although

Kiko (dad of Jay) Rodriguez and Nicky (son of Mike) Summerbee both played reserve games for us.

That’s a stupid question to ask at 10-30 pm when I’ve had a few drinks.

If the Lampards got an apostrophe that would be the Lampard’s apostrophe.
