Yes, Toure number 2, Ferdinand 3, Wright-Phillips 5
Three of them have a Forest connection......

Ameobi, Dawson, and Gardner were the Forest related ones. Riise and Benteke were the others  |

It doesn't seem quite fair that Christian Benteke has played 200+ games and his brother came in for 5 minutes, yet his brother is still spoken in the same breath as the Toures and Nevilles.
It is like saying that Alan Shearer and Noel Edmonds have 260 premier league goals between them.
I did google this as I had no idea there was another Benteke or Riise and interesting this (https://www.givemesport.com/1630811-premier-league-the-46-pairs-of-brothers-who-have-both-played-in-englands-top-flight) mentions Kieron and Nathan Dyer in the top 10. I'm pretty sure they are not brothers...

Yeah, I'd never have got Benteke or Riise. I doubt I'd have thought of the Gardners either, Craig Gardner must be one of the most forgettable players to rack up over 250 Premier League games.
When it was on the radio someone rang in and guessed the Dyer brothers and I thought 'I didn't even know they were brothers', but the hosts just went 'No, they're not on the list' without questioning if they were actually brothers or not. I'm guessing they're not...
Surprised to see the Cole brothers Andy and Ashley are not included. It must be because it was only for pairs of brothers so they're ruled out because of Carlton.....
