The father and son act is a hard one to follow in football.
Ronaldinho’s son is set to sign for Hull City while the sons of Wayne Rooney and others are all plying their trade in the academies.
They aren’t always guaranteed to follow the same path as their fathers, and for one former Blackburn Rovers and Queens Park Rangers man, his son is experiencing something very different.

Christopher Samba’s son is now playing for England U17s
England are a conveyor belt of talent right now, producing new talents every day.
Plenty of those are in the EFL too, including Leicester City’s Jeremy Monga and on-loan Preston North End midfielder Harrison Armstrong.
Another one catching the eye at youth level, however, is the son of ex-Blackburn and QPR man Christopher Samba.
While Samba played for Congo’s national team, his son Floyd is eligible to represent the Three Lions after being born in the UK.
He currently plays as a midfielder at Manchester City, where he has played since he was eight.
Those eagle-eyed enough will also notice that he is joined by Mathis Eboue, who is the son of former Arsenal defender, Emmanuel.
Chris Samba didn’t enjoy being a part of the QPR dressing room
While Samba seemingly loved his time at Ewood Park with Blackburn, the same can’t be said about his QPR experience.
During an eye-opening interview with Sam Allardyce on his No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, the defender claimed the R’s dressing room was the worst he had been in.
“Let me put it this way, that’s the worst dressing room I have been in, in football,” he said.
“I don’t think he [Harry Redknapp] lost the dressing room, I think the way the wages were structured was not very good.
“You had a player on £10,000 playing with one who is on £50,000. It’s a lot of resentment, you know. If that player who played better than the one who was on more money that day, he feels some type of way.”
