I need a little help putting together a fairly comprehensive list of current sports stars whose dads were also big stars (not necessarily in the same sport).
I already have
Archie/Peyton Manning
Bobby/Barry Bonds
Calvin/Grant Hill
Bob/Brian Griese
Bobby/Brett Hull
Ken Griffey Sr. & Jr.
Al Unser Sr. & Jr.
How many more can you come up with? No race horses, please!
In hockey Gordie Howe played with his sons Mark and Marty in the old WHA. When the WHA folded Marty played a couple years in the NHL but I don’t know if he was a star or not.
Frankie Dettori is the son of Gianfranco Dettori, a top rider in Italy and the UK in the 1970’s.
Peter Scudamore, now retired following a highly successful career as a jump jockey in the UK, is the son of Grand National winning rider Michael Scudamore. Peter’s son Tom looks set to continue the family tradition.
Thanks for the answers given so far… now a follow-up question. Is there someplace I can track down a listing of all fathers and sons who have (independently) each gotten themselves on the cover of Sports Illustrated?
The most recent example is Chris Simms (Phil’s son), quarterback of the Univ. of Texas Longhorns. He got on the cover a few weeks back, though I’m sure he wishes he hadn’t!
