Kanhai, Kallicharan and sons.

I heard that one of Alvin's sons was a promising cricketer in the 80s. Never heard much after that.
Clive Lloyd's son became a Goal Keeper in the lower leagues in England. Played for Guyana about two years ago.

Richards' son, Mali Richards, plays for the Leeward Islands. As a matter of fact he opened the batting for dem in de recently concluded match against T&T.

Before we jump on them men for not producing children to folloow in their footsteps, we must look and see if any of them men father use to play for the WI. Neither, LLoyd, Kalli, Khanhai, Gomes, Richards fathers ever played for the WI. So why their off springs have to be like them. DNA don't always follow the same trail. Headley's son was an exception.

Deeks in the case of some, their fathers may not have progressed because of certain realities.

I read in Lara's Biography, his father missed out on trials with TT because the "donkey cart" was late in picking him up.

As a kid I used to hear Trinis say that Richards' father was better than him but never got a chance to play. That might be sh*& though :-)

In terms of their sons. Well how many of them had sons.

Sobers, Rohan and Alvin did. But obviously weren't world class.
Gome's son played for Hillview College, that's it.
I believe one of the Ws had two sons who played for WI, David Murray is one of the sons.

There are loads of WC cricketers whose sons have followed in their father's footsteps: McDermott's son being the latest.

But I guess just as many where it doh seem to happen. Or they choose another path becz they are only so good.

In other sports I know some sons and daughters followed their fathers' or mothers' footsteps. I know in football. Gordon Husbands and father Dudley both played for TT. Leo Brewster and his dad played football. Ainsley Armstrong and his son both ran track for TT. Ria Mark and her son Ken Mark(correct me?). George Bovel and his father. I want to say Kwandaye Brown and his mom in field hockey(but I am not sure). Ahmad Charles (football) and Sandra Charles (field hockey).

vb · « **Reply #16 on:** February 04, 2010, 07:30:52 AM »

maybe a lot of these people just opted for an education.

I remember Inshan Ali's sone doing well as a youth cricketer. Believed he went on to study law and never heard of him again.

how many sons of great athletes were better than their father's, thats a question that should be asked, just because sobers of lloyd was good, doesnt mean their son would also be good, thats a farce.

it rarely happens and if it does happen, its one in a million maybe.

Deeks · « **Reply #18 on:** February 05, 2010, 10:31:59 PM »

Controversial,
You right about that. Pele, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Kenny Dalglish, Georgie Best, Diego all have sons. None reach the heights of their dads. Paolo Maldini is one of the exceptions to the rule. Does Latas have a son in Portugal. If so, then the verdicts is still out of him?

You are partly correct, your dad being good doesn't mean you have to be.

But there are countless examples of Dad's whose sons were world class but not necessarily as good as their father. Some actually better.

Dads with WC sons: Alvin Corneal, Willi Rodriguez, Edgar Vidale, Leroy Spann, Joe Fraizer, Buster Mathis, Cyruff, Pele, Joe Douglas (Buster's father) Doug Jones (Roy's father) Floyd Mayweather, Ken Norton, Squeaky Hinds, Sunil Gavaskar, Armanath, Lobo Joseph, Krishnan (tennis), Vijay Amritaj (tennis), Dr. J, Yannick Noah, Maradona (he outside child), Ray Clemence, George Headley, Guillen, Alf Constantine, Hector Camacho, Julio Cesar Chavez, Tommy Hearns, Ross Russel, One of the Ws cah remember which one, Gunn (cricket) from Gunn&Moore fame.
Armstrong, Philbert Jones,Leon Spinks.

Endless more that I can't remember.

Vb,
Yannick Noah's Dad did play professionally for Nice in France, in 50/60's. I think he won the French cup with them. But he got injured and left the game. The Noah's chose different sports. Well we know Yannick's son is a b-baller.

Not his mother, but 2 of his aunts represented T&T in hockey.

Joe Bryant and his son, Kobe, Bobby and Barry Bonds Ken Griffey Snr. and Jnr. (didn't they also play for the same professional team?), NFL Hall-of-Famer Tony Dorsett and his son Tony, Mohammed Ali and his daughter Laila, Joe Frazier and his daughter Jacqui, George Foreman and his son (George?), Felipe Alou and son Moises, Ralph Earnhardt, son Dale Snr and his son Dale Jnr., Archie Manning and his sons Peyton and Eli, I think Grant Hill's father was a professional NFL player as well plus at least 2 NHL father son combinations, but I'm not such a fan that I know their names (nor am I inclined to research it).

It's not as uncommon as some of us are making it out to be, but that being the case it's not a frequent enough occurence that we should expect Sydney Lara to be a world class cricketer or even a world class athlete nor any children the Bravo's, Chanderpaul, Sarwan et. al. may have to go on to athletic greatness.

yeah, they were the first father and son to play as teammates (in Seattle). Sr. played most of his career with the Reds.

This is a very fertile thread. It sounds like allyuh willing to go the distance to reproduce up and coming young cricketers. Question is: who's at the receiving end? cause these greats a very fertile.
