three Nordahl in the team: relatives?
Which raises the question: there have been lots of instances of *two* brothers playing professionally, often on the same team (Phil and Gary Neville, the Van De Kerkhof Brothers), sometimes on opposite sides of a city divide (Franco and Giuseppe Baresi), sometimes even on opposite national teams (Kevin Prince and Jerome Boateng, who are only half-brothers).three Nordahl in the team: relatives?Oh yes! Brothers!
But how many instances are there of *three* brothers playing
professionally?

The oldest one, Jeffrey, played for a handful of Dutch small clubs before retiring from professional footbal in 2008, at age 26. The youngest, Rodney, has been playing in the Netherlands and featured a few games for the national team's youth sides.

But how many instances are there of *three* brothers playing professionally? The Nordahls are one. Maradona's brothers Hugo and Lalo were able to cobble together a few professional appearances (Hugo looks to have been quite successful in the J-League in the mid 1990s. He died of a heart attack
last year :-(
Any others?

Nice finds everyone. The highest profile current triplet is probably the Pogba brothers: Florentin and Mathias (twins) have both built decent careers in the French first and second tiers, as well as a few caps with Guinea. Younger brother Paul was of course the best player at WC2018 (and still one of the most expensive transfers ever?)Any others?FIVE Shankly brothers, of whom Bill was the most famous. Others were
Bob (also a notable coach, led Dundee to Scottish championship in 1962,
and to semifinals of EC1 the next year), Alec, Jimmy and John.
FIVE, the Cevenini groupThere were also five Sentimenti brothers: Ennio, Arnaldo, Vittorio, Lucidio and Primo. The last four were definitely professional footballers, while there seems to be some disagreement about Ennio (Italian wikipedia says that he was, English wikipedia that he wasn't). But numbers 2-5 were known with their roman numerals (Sentimenti IV was a famous Juventus goalie in the 1940s, who would also score penalties -- he was in the 1950 Italy WC squad), so one has to guess that Ennio (Sentimenti I) must have played too at some level.

The Milito Brothers, Gabriel and Diego, are another example of this. One played for Independiente and the other for Racing. There was a famous instance of the Avellaneda Derby when they faced each other and did not allow the fraternal link to hold them back. Gabriel tackled Diego, who furiously demanded the ref to send off his brother. In the argument that ensued, it is said that Gabriel called Diego "son of a b*tch", just to
be reminded that said lady was also his own mother :-)
