readingrebel Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Does anyone know if it's the first time Slough have had two sets of brothers in a squad? The person who might know is Slough Historian, Alan Smith. Can't think there will be many if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Gibbs Batman (KGB) Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Haven't counted them but during season 1962-63 Alec and Roy Nairn will have played in the same team as John and Peter Ford on a number of occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lino Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Does anyone know if it's the first time Slough have had two sets of brothers in a squad? When you say squad does that include when we had a reserve side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 In the not too distant past we had Leigh and Jonny Mason (though Jonny didn't get a game), and Adam and Andrzej Jasnikowski (neither of whom were very good!) in the same squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3spirit Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 I can remember the Dell brothers, one name was Tony. Tony and Bobby Dell,yes I remember them Very unusual two pairs,though. Seems like KGB has found two pairs from the year before I was born ! Lino,I was meaning brothers in the first team /first team squad really but suppose reserves could count.if they played in the first team at some point.

Only there were many pairs of brothers but having no records to hand of reserve/squad players from yesteryear its hard to prove.I can think of Reardon bros.Osullivan bros.Hartridge bros Cooper bros.Roy and Alan davies etc.Acording to the data base on the official website the two Cooper bros played in the same team as the Wells bros. in 1931.

Kaiser Gibbs Batman (KGB) Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 A little further quarrying of the memory reminds me that Gordon and Keith Murray played for the club around the same time as Alec and Roy Nairn. I also recall the talented and combative brothers Barry and Roy Davies in the mid-1970's. Before my time (just) but one of my cherished football books tells me that at one stage in the 1950's Slough Centre could field three sets of brothers-Albert and Cliff Trott (English), Gwilys and Trefor Alderman (Welsh) and Larry and Billy Rafferty (Irish). Of those, the only one I ever saw play was Cliff Trott-for Wycombe Wanderers in the isthmian League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Kitman Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 In 82/3 there was the Randall brothers for the res and I think had some games for the first team. Then the son played for the first team Lee Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dellybelly Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I remember from around 1982-1984 Tony and Mick Doherty played with some distinction for us in some big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
