Wasn’t his first season under a manager who made a bunch of a random foreign signings who none of us had heard of? I think and I may be wrong that Pulis signed Sidibe because he knew him from his time at Gillingham but before the season started Boskamp came in and Mama wanted to leave the club but stuck it out and Pulis returned the season after and the rest is history mate. As I say I may be wrong but that's what happened if I remember correctly it was a long time ago now though 🤣 I think that’s how it panned out mate I remember reading about Sidibe signing not long after Pulis sacking and thinking his goal scoring record was awful. little did I know that wasn’t all he could bring to a side

Abdoulaye Faye and Amdy Faye became the first father and son to play for Stoke City back in 2008. They also went on to become the first brothers to play for Stoke City in the same game, and the first married couple to be named in the same Stoke City squad. Less well known is that Salif Diao is also both the grandfather and mother of Abdoulaye and Amdy. Post of the day!

I wonder how many close family relatives played for Port Vale in the olden days before less localised recruitment.

We'd score alot but concede alot aswell. Remember the away games being really exciting under him and he was a bit of a nutter aswell old Johan wasn't he 😂😂

Their union was indeed blessed though, and their son D'Margio has followed in his daddies footsteps! Just a shame Kenwyne Jones father Vinnie never came to us.

Does Fuller have any sons? He does, but not following the same Sidibe family gene shall we say, to be kind 😉🤣

May change/improve to be fair but my nephew was playing for pro pathway and had trials for Stoke a year or so back. My bro reported that Mama's lads were mustard & looked the grade back then, whilst Ricardo's not so much! But you never know, maybe a late devoloper..

Eidur Gudjohnsen came on as a sub for his dad in a game for Iceland, but I don’t think they actually played in the same team, which seems a bit of a wasted opportunity tbh George Eastham played with his dad (player manager) at Ards in the early 1950s.

As I say I may be wrong but that's what happened if I remember correctly it was a long time ago now though 🤣 Not sure about the 'Mama wanted to leave' bit. As I recall, Sidibe joined just a couple of days before Pulis was sacked, and new manager Boskamp offered to rip up Sidibe's contract if he wanted to leave. He obviously chose to stay.

Seems a very nice lad aswell with his feet on the ground and his head screwed on. Mama has done a cracking job with him and he should be a very proud father. Makes me feel an old cunt knowing I watched his dad play and now him mind 🤣
