Interesting facts about Gary Ablett Snr and Jr

[Alberton_Magpie]

Gary Ablett Snr played his last game on the 8th of September 1996, Gary Ablett Jr made his debut on the 30th of March 2002. That is only a very small 5 and a half years between father and son. Also Tim McGrath, David Mensch, Peter Riccardi, Ben Graham, Aaron Lord, Brad Sholl, Brenton Sanderson, Ronnie Burnes, Glenn Kilpatrick and Steven King played with both of them.

I will try to find more about other Father/Sons picks but I think this is hard to beat.

Highly unlikely but not impossible.
