    Martin Ødegaard and Alexander Sørloth could've made this team. Hans Erik Ødegaard had 121 top flight games in Norway (250 professional), while Gøran Sørloth won five league titles with Rosenborg, short spell at B. Mönchengladbach before featuring in the 1994 World Cup among 54 other caps for the national team.

    If you just want to add bodies to the squad, you can check out the Ahmad brothers, who are the sons of Fandi Ahmad of Singapore. Probably the greatest Singaporean player ever, he scored in a uefa Cup match against Inter Milan while playing for FC groningen. But unfortunately due to Singapore's mandatory military service, he gave up his European dreams and went back to Singapore and played mainly in Malaysia and Singapore. His 3 sons irfan, ikhsan and ihlan are all pretty good, though I think ilhan is now playing in Europe at 2nd or 3rd tier.

    Nepotism Fc? Do you mean Dynamo Kyiv?
    Kristian Bilovar is the DK centre back who is the son in law of the owner of the club.
    Viacheslav Surkis is the u-19 goalkeeper who is the nephew of the current owner of the club, and son of the previous owner of the club.
    Oleksiy Husev is the son of DK legend Oleg Husev, he is currently out on loan playing for UPL side Zoria Luhansk.
    Roman Salenko the son of Oleg Salenko recently made his debut for Dynamo Kyiv senior side. Oleg Salenko is known for scoring 5 goals at the 1994 world cup vs Cameroon for a country that doesn't deserve the dignity of being named.

    Yo, the disrespect towards Paco Gento. "What wikipedia describes as a legendary Real Madrid player."
    That man is a legend of the sport itself. That man won the UCL - or rather its predecessor format - six times. Till this very summer, when Carvajal, Kroos, Modric and Nacho caught up , he was the only six times European club champion. He won the Spanish league 12 friggin times. Played for the Spanish National Team 43 times.
    Btw. regading Marcos Llorentes lineage: His grandfather on his mothers side is former Real Madrid Player Ramón Grosso, yet another European chamipn (1966 as Gentos teammate) and seven times Spanish champion.
    Also, regarding Marcos Alonso, his grandfather - also names Marcos Alons although known as Marquitos - also won the European cup and the Spanish league five times each, as Gentos teammate.

    Fun fact about Icelandic naming: former Reggina, Verona and Udinese player Emil Halfredsson has been called Emil because it was the name of his grandfather. Which means that his father's name is...Halfred Emilsson.
    Other favt about Icelandic naming: "But..if Icelandinc names work that way, why former Chelsea and Barça player Eidur Gudjohnsen is called that why even if he's the son of Arnor Gudjohnsen (former Anderlecht player :nepotism: )? Shouldn' he be called Eidur Arnorson?" Well, because "Gudjohsen" is a Swedish/Danish surname, and Icelandic people with a foreign surname can keep it, without following the patronymic rule.

    Patronymic surnames or patronyms is the naming convention you are looking for. The opposite would be matronymic or matronym. Alls -son/sson/sen/zon names arose this way, however, outside of Iceland, since stricter tax and government regulations and the requirement of having to identify oneself etc. were introduced in the mid-1800s, many families switched to keeping the same name that was passed down, instead of changing each generation. Simultaneously, the female variant was also faded out. I find it interesting that German surnames such as Mertens were Mertenson originally. This is also the origin of Spanish/Portuguese last names such as Álvarez (son of Alvaro), since Germanic tribes settled Iberia after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
