It can be tough for a footballer’s son to escape the shadow of their father at the best of times.
West Ham striker Elliot Lee, son of Newcastle and England midfielder Rob, scored his first goal for the club in the Europa League qualifier against FC Lusitans.
However his pride may have taken a bit of a hit after he was listed in the matchday programme as…you guessed it…Robert Lee.

That was not the only mistake, with several Hammers players (including captain James Tomkins) given the wrong first name.
Perhaps Lee can use the mix-up to channel his old man’s famous shooting ability.
