Big Boots To Fill When Footballers Follow In The Glorious Footsteps Of Their Fathers, It Is Quite The Sight To Behold

There is nothing that truly tugs at my heartstrings like seeing a young person follow in the good steps of their parents by making a positive impact in society, be it a daughter becoming a teacher like her mother, or a son following in his dad's path and pursuing a career as doctor or even a policeman.

But there is truly something special about the sons of footballers walking over the whitewash and reminding us of the exploits of their old men before them.

On Saturday, I watched in awe across two matches, one in the English Premier League and the other in Italy's Serie A, as three sons of legendary footballers strutted their stuff on the hallowed turfs of those two nations' iconic football stadiums.

I just love seeing the sons of legendary former footballers doing well, because it seems as though a lot of people are often betting on them to fail.

Locally, we often saw somewhat unjust criticism levelled against Kaizer Motaung Jr during his time turning out for his father's team Kaizer Chiefs despite being quite a decent number 9.
