Ross Halls takes a look at eight former Ipswich Town players whose sons have gone on to play football.

DAVID JOHNSON

The forward played for Town between 1997 to 2001, where he was part of the side that won promotion to the Premier League. He scored 62 goals in 158 games. 

His son, Brennan, is also a forward. He started his career at Nottingham Forest, where his dad played and helped them win promotion to the top flight in 2022.

He moved to Spurs for £47.5 million last summer and will come up against Kieran McKenna's men on November 10th.

RICHARD WRIGHT

The Ipswich-born goalkeeper came through the ranks at Town, where he made 355 appearances during his three separate spells at Portman Road. 

His son, Harry, also went on to play in goal, where he was in the youth ranks at Man City and Ipswich. He never made a first-team appearance, before moving to Fleetwood Town. 

He signed for Suffolk non-league side Felixstowe & Walton United this summer after a spell at Bury.

JASON DOZZELL

The Ipswich-born midfielder is a club legend, who became the youngest goalscorer in English top-flight history when netting on his Town debut. He went on to make over 400 appearances during his spell at Portman Road. 

His son, Andre, is also a midfielder who followed in his dad's footsteps in scoring on his Blues debut. He made close to 100 appearances for his hometown club. 

He left Town to join QPR in a £1m switch in 2021, but now plays for Portsmouth in the Championship after a loan spell at Birmingham City last season.

ALUN ARMSTRONG

The forward made 94 appearances for Town, scoring 19 goals during his three-and-half seasons at the club. Of course, he famously netted in both games against Inter Milan in the UEFA Cup.

His son, Luke, is also a striker who currently plays for League Two side Carlisle United, having joined them at the start of the year. 

He began his career at Cowdenbeath in Scotland, before spells at Blyth Spartans, Middlesbrough, Gateshead (loan), Accrington Stanley (loan), Salford City, Hartlepool United (loan) and Harrogate Town.

KELVIN DAVIS

The goalkeeper made 93 appearances during his two seasons at Portman Road, where he helped the Blues reach the Championship play-offs in both campaigns. 

His son, Sonnie, did not follow in his father's footsteps by donning the gloves. However, he is currently at Southampton, where his dad played over 300 games during his time at St Mary's. 

Davis Jr is a key man at right-back for Saints Under-21s, having came through their youth ranks, signing his first pro deal last summer until 2025.

NICKY FORSTER

The forward notched eight goals in 25 appearances for Town, but injuries disrupted his time at the club.

His step-son, Jake, altered his surname to Forster-Caskey in homage to Nicky, who he said was a great role model and parent to him. 

He started his career at Brighton, who his step-father also played for, while spending time out on loan at Oxford United, MK Dons and Rotherham United, before a spell at Charlton Athletic. The midfielder now plays for Stevenage in League One.

NIKLAS GUDMUNDSSON

The Swede scored three goals in 10 games during his short spell on loan from Blackburn Rovers in the 1996/97 season.

His son, Gabriel, is a full-back who currently plays for French side Lille, having joined them in August 2021 on a five-year deal. 

He started his career in his homeland with Halmstads BK before having a spell with Dutch side Groningen. He is an international team-mate of Town midfielder Jens Cajuste, having won 10 full caps for Sweden.

KEVIN LISBIE

The forward spent three years at Portman Road, scoring seven goals in 45 games for Town.

His twin sons, Kyreece and Kyrell, have followed in their dad's footsteps in being strikers, with the duo playing for Brentford and Braintree Town respectively. 

Kyreece recently scored against Town U21s in the Bees' 2-1 win at Portman Road.
