Bury FC quiz question - Band of Brothers
Its a good one this. Name three pairs of brothers who have played for Bury. They don't have to have played at the same time, but do have to have turned out for the senior side (so you can't have Phil and Gary Neville).

Two you should get. The third pair is a bit obscure. All have played in the last twenty years or so.

I'll give you a clue: None of them are called Joachim Reeves Bennetonsonsonson.
Another clue is: all of them had a full complement of legs and arms.

If that's too hard, here's an easier one. Name a father and son, and an uncle/nephew combo who have represented the Shakers.

Andy Reid the Sunderland player? I'm pretty sure he hasn't played for Bury. Was there another Andy Reid?
