Pulis Sr?
Something in the back of my mind says we had a father son duo maybe in the 1940s? I'm not sure.

Gudjon Thordarson.
Wikipedia says he played 212 games for ÍA Akranes (and obviously managed us for a few years) and we had two of his sons play for us (Bjarni and Thordur).

I guess they can make up the numbers but they'd bring the quality of the side down a few notches  |

Wasn't Alan Hudson's son on the books? Not sure if he ever made the first team.

John Ritchie’s son was an unused sub I think.

Doesn't qualify, but wasn’t Dave Regis’ uncle, Cyrille? Related to athlete John, too.

If you are still short of a defender, goes back a bit, but you could have Harry Sellars, father of Johnny Sellars.
Harry played 394 and Johnny 413 games for Stoke.
Can't be too many father & son combinations where both played around 400 games for the same club?

If not restricting this thread to Stoke(?), then the Maldinis of AC Milan (Cesare and Paolo) - 347 and 647 |

On the subject of Sammy Mc, I seem to remember that he played in the same team / eleven as his son, for Bury.
I might be talking rubbish, but I’m sure I read or heard it somewhere, years ago…. How often has that happened? 🤷🏼♂️
