How many times happened that fathers and sons played together in a national team match?
I can clearly remember that happened time ago in a Nordic European country, maybe Foroyar or Iceland...

Thank you guys! It was the great Gudjohnsen.. I should have known!
If somebody knows other cases, please post! (also uncles-nephes it's ok)
It's an interesting trivia, I think.

I believe the Gudjohnsen family is the only one to achieve such a feat, at least in Europe.
More numerous should be the examples when the father was manager of the national team and the son played in it, for example Cesare and Paolo Maldini in the 1990s.

From wikipedia:
Arnór and Eidur are the only father and son to play for their country during the same game. Arnór was 34 and Eidur was just 17 when it happened.
[...]
At 25 he [Arnór] had been asked his biggest wish, to which he replied "to play international football alongside Eiður". However, shortly before a match in Reykjavik in which father and son were finally scheduled to appear alongside one another, young Eiður broke his ankle in an Under-18 tournament. He duly missed the next two seasons, in which time Arnór hung up his boots and bought a fishing rod.
[...]
[Arnór] Guðjohnsen played 73 games for the Icelandic national team and scored 14 goals, four of them in a game against Turkey. He played his last international in October 1997 against Liechtenstein.
If all this is true, they are the only father-son to achieve this "record". And it wasn't Arnor last match.
edit: checked with Icelandic records. Eidur and Arnor match was the #250, Arnor's last was the #266.
