In fairness to him, Jordan Larsson's doing quite well for himself, Swedish international, playing for Spartak Moscow, still quite young. Not quite athis dad's level but carving out a good career. The rest, agreed, seem to be lower league cloggers.
 


It’s a funny old thread. There are literally thousands of professional footballers in the British leagues. >99% are significantly better than their fathers were at football. Yet people choose to list some that aren’t to try and justify their view that a managers son will be a bit pants!

Bradley Wright Phillips is an MLS legend. His brother did alright for himself as well. Just for balance, Xabi Alonso is the son of a successful footballer, yet went on to have a much better career, he won't be the only one either.

but an average at best League One/Championship striker

which tells you all you need to know about the MLS
Maybe so, but still good enough to be pro. Players like him or Jordi Cruyff can be perfectly decent but will always be compared to their da. Closer to home for you, would you agree Frank Lampard and Harry Redknapp were outshone by their boys?
