As Christian Benteke's brother scores a wondergoal, we rank our top five footballing brothers

With technique like this, it must be in their genes.

Published

Christian Benteke is used to picking up the plaudits for smashing in goals for Aston Villa, including an exquisite overhead kick against Norwich City.

But today, the spotlight falls on younger brother Jonathan, 19, who shows great skill to cut in from the left, skip past his opponent and curl his right-footed shot into the far top corner of the goal.

Unbelievable tekkers from the younger Benteke.

Jonathan plies his trade at CS Vise, a Belgian second division side who drew 2-2 against opponents Tubize.

So, we started thinking. What other notable footballing brothers have there been? And how many are playing today?

Here's our top five.

5) Craig and Gary Gardner

Craig and Gary Gardner are both products of the Aston Villa academy. Craig featured as part of the high-flying Martin O'Neil era before he completed a move to rivals Birmingham City. Gary is still on the books at Villa having been on loan at Championship side Sheffield Wednesday. Craig rejoined Martin O'Neil at Sunderland in 2011 where he still is today.

4) Stefan and Luke Moore

Stefan and Luke were both on the books at Aston Villa between 2003-2005. Again, they never played together.

3) James and Adam Chambers

These two are unique as they are actually twins. James and Adam started their career together at West Bromwich Albion. They were reunited in 2012 when James joined Adam at Walsall FC.

2) Gary and Phil Neville

Both Gary and Phil Neville picked up full international honours for England whilst they played together at Man United. Gary was the first-choice right-back whilst Phil earned much of his playing time from the bench. Phil left Gary at Old Trafford and joined Everton where he became an instant hit with the fans and a first-team regular.

1) Bobby and Jack Charlton

The number one choice - afterall they did win a World Cup together. Bobby Charlton earned legendary status at Manchester United whilst Jack made over 750 career starts at Leeds United. But they both featured in England's 4-2 World Cup win over West Germany in 1966.
