It may not have caught your attention but Paul McGinn has been called up to the Scotland squad as cover for injuries,Covid etc.It may be that he faces Austria tonight alongside his brother John.I can think of two other famous brother couples,the Laudrups and the Nevilles.
My first ever game was in 1969 when Hibs played a close season game against Newcastle when two brothers played,one for Hibs the other for the Toon.(Unfortunately their name escapes me).The Charltons were another two! But can you think of other siblings that played fitba'?

In the 2016 Euros brothers Granit and Taulant Xhaka played against each other. Granit for Switzerland and Taulant for Albania.

At one point in the 80's we had brothers Eric and Willie Young playing centre back together,

The Wilkins brothers?
Gary and Tommy Elphick?
The Lua Luas?
There were a lot of Latchfords back in the 1970s too.

As there are LOADS of brothers, can we narrow this down to twins?

It's a bit tenuous because I don't think the better-looking one ever broke through to the first team, but the Dowie twins were both on the books at Saints & Palace:
