"Not England" - Jason Robinson's son receives first rugby international call-up

Jacob, who is Robinson's fourth of five sons, has been called up to play for Scotland U16's. this summer.

His Dad Jason  is of Scottish and Jamaican descent, which means the speedster is eligible to represent Scotland.

DID YOU KNOW? Robinson is nicknamed 'Billy Whizz' after a character in the British comic The Beano, who is an extremely fast runner.

Legendary England speedster Jason Robinson recently took to social media, to share the news that his son Noah has signed for Premier League football giants Manchester City.

The 2003 Rugby World Cup winner said how he was “super proud” of his son's accomplishment, and it will be exciting to see Noah lighting up the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium in the not so distant future.

Manchester City published an announcement video, confirming that the young Robinson had signed with the Citizens. Jason Robinson’s tweet garnered the attention of some of rugby’s well-known names, who shared their support for the new City star.

Robinson also has other children who are excelling in sport.

His eldest son, Lewis Tierney, is a decorated Rugby League star, who has represented Scotland's national team. Tierney's playing career took him to Wigan Warriors, Workington Town, Catalans Dragons and the Leigh Centurions.

The 28-year-old has also won the 2018 Challenge Cup Final, as the Catalans Dragons secured the tittle over his former club Wigan Warriors at Wembley Stadium. Jason has another son called Patrick, who is a professional freerider.

His other son Joseph, who previously played for Wigan Warriors academy, also famously dated Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown a few years back.

Like Jason Robinson, Neil Back's son has opted against rugby, and has pursued a professional career in football.

Neil Back's son Fin, is a professional footballer who is currently playing for Carlisle United in the EFL League Two. Fin is signed to Premier League club Nottingham Forest, having progressed into the side through the academy system. The 20-year-old is currently out on loan at Carlisle, and is gaining valuable first team experience in the fourth division of English football.

A versatile footballer, Back is able to play across the midfield and also at right-back.

The British & Irish Lion's son made his professional debut for Nottingham Forest on 11 August 2021, as he started Forest's EFL Cup match against Bradford City. Back's league debut came in the Championship, as Nottingham Forest took on Blackburn Rovers on the 18th August 2021.

Breaking the trend of football-playing sons, is Kyran Bracken's son Charlie. The 19-year-old is apart of the Saracens Academy, and is an up-and-coming scrum half to keep an eye on in the foreseeable future. Bracken broke onto the scene with the England U18s, and more recently with the England U20s side, making four appearances for his country throughout the 2022 Summer internationals.

Bracken impressed throughout the 2023 U20s Six Nations. England U20s won their first three matches of the competition, with victories over Scotland, Italy and Wales presenting positive signs for England's future stars. However, back-to-back defeats in the last two rounds saw England lose to France, and eventual Grand Slam winners Ireland, who mirrored the Irish senior stars' impressive dominance.

At club level, Bracken has been getting increased attention at the StoneX Stadium, and made two off-the-bench appearances in the 2022/23 Premiership Rugby Cup.

With such promise at such a young age, Bracken could well be following his father's footsteps all the way to an England senior cap as his career progresses.

Bracken also received praise across social media, after he gave his England U20s shirt away to a young fan, after the England v Scotland match in this year's Six Nations.

The 2003 Rugby World Cup winner, was a lifelong Northampton Saints player. A true 'one club man' Grayson made 259 appearances for Saints, between 1993 and 2005. The fly half ended his career as Northampton all-time top points scorer, with a grand total of 2,786 points for the Saints. Grayson has had three son's and all of which are involved with Northampton Saints so far in their rugby careers.

Paul's eldest son James, is replicating his father's career by leading Northampton Saints at fly half in the Gallagher Premiership. Grayson has since made 88 appearances for the Midlands club, and has already built an impressive points tally, with 595 points on the board so far in his Saints career. James Grayson has his shot at the Gallagher Premiership title this year, as Saints have reached the play-offs, and take on Saracens in this tomorrow's semi-final at the Stone X.

Paul's two other son's Ethan and Joel are in the Northampton Saints' development set-up. Ethan is on the first team fringes, and has made five appearances for the club. He currently resides on loan at Bedford Blues in the RFU Championship. Joel is hoping to progress into the first team like his brothers and father before him, and complete Grayson's next generation of stars at Franklin's Gardens.
