Brian and Mark Stein won the league cup for Luton Town in 1988. Jimmy and Brian Greenhoff won the FA Cup for Manchester United in 1977. Bobby and Jack Charlton won the World Cup for England in 1966.

PONY TAILED URCHIN Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 so then is it possible this might be the first Brother and Sister to win a trophy at Wembley in a calendar year!. Well done to Drew Spence and I hope perhaps we might get to hear her football stories over at the Urchins one day to inspire the next generation of ladies.

Ruth Cork Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Sibling winners shown have all been in the same competition. Is this the first time for siblings to win in different competitions at Wembley in the same year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pars Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Jack Charlton winning the league cup with Leeds United and Bobby Charlton winning the European Cup with Manchester United in 1968 both held at Wembley is one which first comes to mind.

Ruth Cork Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 To keep the discussion going and may be something unique has there ever been a brother and sister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pars Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Considering that there have only been 7 women’s cup finals played at Wembley which have been won by only 3 teams, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, there is a very limited pool to draw from. As best as I can find this is the first time ever that a brother and sister have won a cup final at Wembley, not only in one year but ever. But more than happy if shown to be wrong in this.

Dagger03 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 >>>>> Regular Users 12 20 posts Author Posted 18 hours ago To keep the discussion going and may be something unique has there ever been a brother and sister? The answer is YES it is unique - it has never happened before - this is the first time that brother and sister have won winner's medals at Wembley. And you will find that Drew Spence has twice picked up a winner's medal at Wembley. As Lewwis said (it's in the book, One Nil Down, Three One Up) - All the years of ups and downs, commitments and sacrifices you made have paid off and both your children have won at Wembley (take that in). Drew you all always said you wanted to follow in my footsteps but ultimately I followed in yours, keep shining. cup of tea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
