    Correct Chis his dad played for Hendon and Chesham amongst others.

  • ChrisChris

    John Sutton’s dad was a footballer, but I’m pretty sure he didn’t score 1 in 4!

  • ChrisChris

    Maybe he was born in Blackburn?

  • Lloyd2084Lloyd2084

    Good answer, but not the one I'm looking for.

  • ChrisChris

    Is no 2 Beavon instead?

  • Steve_PeartSteve_Peart

    Graham Bressington for 3? His Uncle Sheldon played for us.

    For 2, Luke Oliver? I have a vague memory of him being in a line of footballers but could well be someone else.

    Well done Mr P, Rambo Brassington is correct, but Luke Oliver isn't.

    Paul Birdseye for no 2, father Peter and grandfather. Or maybe Paul had a son who played for Wycombe - but I don't recall that.
