As you probably know, the idiots in the Swedish FA banned our pros from the
NT until 1958.

This is what we could have had 1950 and 1954. (Minus the keeper... :-) )

Which raises the question: there have been lots of instances of *two* brothers playing professionally, often on the same team (Phil and Gary Neville, the Van De Kerkhof Brothers), sometimes on opposite sides of a city divide (Franco and Giuseppe Baresi), sometimes even on opposite national teams (Kevin Prince and Jerome Boateng, who are only half-brothers).
But how many instances are there of *three* brothers playing professionally? The Nordahls are one. Maradona's brothers Hugo and Lalo were able to cobble together a few professional appearances (Hugo looks to have been quite successful in the J-League in the mid 1990s. He died of a heart attack last year :-(

FIVE, the Cevenini group

Luigi Cevenini - Wikipedia
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Cevenini

i fratelli Cevenini stabilirono un record tuttora in essere, alquanto straordinario: il 26 dicembre 1920, infatti, tutti e cinque i fratelli,
(Aldo, Mario, Luigi, Cesare e Carlo), vennero schierati nel derby cittadino contro l'U.S. Milanese, terminato 2-1 per l'Inter grazie ai gol di Luigi e Carlo.

Luigi Cevenini - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Cevenini

His older brothers Aldo Cevenini and Mario Cevenini and younger brothers Cesare Cevenini and Carlo Cevenini all played football professionally, with Aldo playing 11 games for Italy. To distinguish them, Aldo was known as Cevenini I, Mario as Cevenini II, Luigi as Cevenini III, Cesare as Cevenini
IV and Carlo as Cevenini V.

The Milito Brothers, Gabriel and Diego, are another example of this. One
played for Independiente and the other for Racing. There was a famous
instance of the Avellaneda Derby when they faced each other and did not
allow the fraternal link to hold them back. Gabriel tackled Diego, who furiously demanded the ref to send off his brother. In the argument that ensued, it is said that Gabriel called Diego "son of a b*tch", just to
be reminded that said lady was also his own mother :-) All that with their parents and family watching on the stands. But as far as I know, sibling rivalry has been limited to the Racing vs Independiente divide. Otherwise
they seem to get along well.

sometimes even on opposite]
national teams (Kevin Prince and Jerome Boateng, who are only half-brothers).

But how many instances are there of *three* brothers playing professionally? The Nordahls are one. Maradona's brothers Hugo and Lalo were able to cobble together a few professional appearances (Hugo looks to have been quite successful in the J-League in the mid 1990s. He died of a heart attack

I looked up this one on Google: Wesley Sneijder has two brothers who play(ed) professional football. The oldest one, Jeffrey, played for a handful of Dutch small clubs before retiring from professional footbal in 2008, at age 26. The youngest, Rodney, has been playing in the Netherlands and featured a few games for the national team's youth sides.
I guess that, in this context, one also has to mention the Thill family. On his day, Serge Thill has played 14 matches for Luxembourg, from 1992 to 1998. His three sons, Olivier, S|-bastien and Vincent, all play for the national team today.
Indeed, all three were involved in their Luxembourg's away victory over Ireland
in the WCQ, Olivier and Vincent on the pitch and S|-bastien in the subs bench. And of course, from: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/aug/22/the-largest-number-of-siblings-to-score-for-their-country
rCLThis, however, is narrowly beaten by the dedicated Pele/Ayew footballing dynasty,
which includes Abedi Pele (33), Kwame Ayew (9), Andr|- Ayew (14) and Jordan Ayew (12).
ThatrCOs a grand total of 68 international goals. The young Ayews also have a sister,
Imani, who is a professional footballer, but I couldnrCOt find out anything about a
goal record internationally.rCY
This one should be hard to beat, but surely there are other examples.

FIVE Shankly brothers, of whom Bill was the most famous. Others were
Bob (also a notable coach, led Dundee to Scottish championship in 1962,
and to semifinals of EC1 the next year), Alec, Jimmy and John.

Nice finds everyone. The highest profile current triplet is probably the Pogba brothers: Florentin and Mathias (twins) have both built decent careers in the French first and second tiers, as well as a few caps with Guinea. Younger brother Paul was of course the best player at WC2018 (and still one of the most expensive transfers ever?)

There were also five Sentimenti brothers: Ennio, Arnaldo, Vittorio, Lucidio and Primo. The last four were definitely professional footballers, while there seems to be some disagreement about Ennio (Italian wikipedia says that he was, English wikipedia that he wasn't). But numbers 2-5 were known with their roman numerals (Sentimenti IV was a famous Juventus goalie in the 1940s, who would also score penalties -- he was in the 1950 Italy WC squad), so one has to guess that Ennio (Sentimenti I) must have played too at some level.

Not the Hazards? Granted, Kylian has been loaned out to the Belgian 2nd division this year, but he has
played three seasons in the Jupiler League with Cercle. And they might still have Ethan up their sleeves.
