Hamit & Halil Altintop

[Jimmy Floyd]

Who are those Russian sheet metal workers. Berezutskiys

[Jimmy Floyd]

Wilson Palacios had various brothers too iirc, not all of whom ended up dead on a hillside.

[John]

The De Boers. Those two should have their own question, being twins.

[John]

Gabriel and Diego Milito
Yaya and Kolo Toure
Are we counting the Boateng brothers? They've probably hit 120 caps between them, but it's for two different countries.

[Jimmy Floyd]

update

[SincereTheRebel]

Correction. van de Kerkhof is wrong. They have 110, not 120.

Most of the players left, only four brothers i consider from my era that i recognise. Its going to take the older, more knowledgeable brains to to get all of these remaining.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Do the Koeman brothers make it?
Ferdinand
Milito
Baresi

Any of the Mexican lot have brothers? They must have a few if so.

[SincereTheRebel]
