Veteran Ashey Young could face 18-year-old son Tyler in an FA Cup fairytale first, writes JOE BERNSTEIN - but the decision lies in the hands of ANOTHER famous footballing son

Ashley and Tyler Young’s dream of making FA Cup history on Thursday night rests in the hands of a member of another famous footballing family.

No father and son have played against each other in 154 years of the world’s most famous knockout competition but that is set to change when Everton host Peterborough.

Ashley, 39, posted ‘goosebumps’ after his club were drawn against his 18-year-old boy’s team from League One and now it’s up to Posh manager Darren Ferguson, son of Sir Alex, to make the fairytale happen.

‘Tyler will be on the bench though I can’t guarantee he’s going to get on,’ he confirmed on Wednesday.
