Famous enough in his own right as well as the family link.

 

Ex Celtic, ex Reading (decent player actually), ex Scotland U21 defender, played his uncle in the Damned United.

 

Sorry to hear he's unwell, but it doesn't look good. Reading FC's most recent death (as it were) is currently Neale Cooper who played briefly in the early 1990's. Gray or the MND stricken Jason Bowen would change that to significantly much more recently.

I couldn't bring myself to pick him, especially as co-host. I didn't want to be asked if he should be allowed.

Played for Scotland when they beat England in 1967. There are several more Scottish players who played who were the reserves from that match left than English.(Where Hurst and Bobby Charlton are all that are left.)
