Peter Sollosi admits he is the biggest critic of sons Ben, Nathan and Sam on the football pitch.

But he cut a proud figure on the touchline after the siblings scored in the same MGBSFL match for the first time as Redbridge Jewish Care A putting east London rivals Woodford Wanderers to the sword last Sunday.

Sollosi snr won the league’s Division Two Player of the Year as a striker for Marshside in season 1987/88. And since becoming assistant-manager of Redbridge Jewish Care A, he has watched his boys turned into three of the most highly-regarded players in the Sunday morning league.

With Sam, 22, and Nathan having risen through the divisions, they joined Ben, the oldest brother at 27, in the Premier Division last season. Both Sam and Ben have joined their dad on the rostum by collecting individual prizes and it was Nathan who took centre stage in the derby victory – scoring two goals on his 21st birthday.
