Weah, Maldini, Thuram and other sons make for scenes of déjà vu in Serie A
ROME (AP) - Weah. Maldini. Thuram. Simeone. Conceição. Stankovic. Martins.
The names bring back memories of Serie A in the late 1990s and 2000s. Now it's their sons taking the spotlight in the Italian league.
When Timothy Weah scored for Juventus against AC Milan last weekend to complete a 2-0 victory, it came about a quarter of a century after his father, George, was last on the scoresheet in the same matchup - albeit with Milan.
In 1999, George Weah scored a brace in a 2-0 win over Juventus as the Golden Ball winner helped the Rossoneri to a Serie A title.
