    Heres one for you.

    What 2 players made World Cup history in 2002 when they faced each other on opposing teams - just as their fathers had faced each other on opposing teams in the 1966 World Cup?

    Off the top of my head I'm gonna say Paulo and Cesare Maldini are one set and maybe someone from Korea cause weren't Italy beaten by them in both 1966 and 2002? Pak Doo-Ik is a name I never forget for some reason!

    Afraid not, but nice try.

    Heres a hint if somebody wants one:
    Both of the sons have played in the English Premier League in recent years, but not anymore.
