Here's Rory Delap about to throw his one-year-old son into the Stoke box back in 2004.
17-year-old Liam Delap is the first player born in 2003 to play a competitive game for Manchester City.
And, yes, he's the son of Rory.

This is so good because it really just exposes what a failed format interviewing politicians on TV is.

One-off buys Liverpool and City are level, but in terms of squad players and their wages it is a different level
City's 4th choice CB cost £50m, Liverpool got theirs from Charlton.
City can buy Kalvin Phillips and Jack Grealish for £150m and they don't make a dent in their XI
