15 most famous brothers in football

#4 The Cannavaro brothers

Fabio Cannavaro and Paolo Cannavaro

Nationality: Italian

Age: 41 and 33 respectively.

Fabio Cannavaro is perhaps one of the greatest centre backs to have graced the game, and his accolades include the FIFA World Player of the Year award that he had won in 2006, making him the only defender to win the award in a decade, and only the third defender to ever win it at all. Cannavaro’s younger brother

Paolo is also a centre back, and a very good one at that. He currently plays for Serie A side Sassuolo. Both of them played together at Parma with Paolo making his debut after coming in to replace his brother as a substitute in a match against Leece.
