Premier League cult hero’s sons making their own way in football and youngest has scored 70 goals for his team
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY have TWO stars on their books - and their dad is a Premier League cult hero.
Bailey Cadamarteri, son of former Everton striker Danny Cadamarteri, made his Championship debut on the weekend.
The 18-year-old forward was thrown into the deep end at half-time on Saturday afternoon with the Owls 2-0 down against Millwall.
And although Wednesday were not able to turn it around, he did make a positive impression on his first Championship appearance.
On another day Cadamarteri could’ve had a goal and assist to his name after getting into some promising positions.
But the Owls went onto lose 4-0 at Hillsborough, and sit bottom of the league.

Cadamarteri was praised by manager Danny Rohl, who said: "He showed that he can run, he has pace and speed. Also, he was always dangerous in the box."
And Bailey himself took to Instagram to credit the fans for their support and relay his personal pride on what was another gruelling afternoon for the newly-promoted side.
The teenager has been bang in form for the Wednesday Under-21s this season.
He’s already hit double figures for the campaign and deserved his chance in the first-team.

Bailey's younger brother isn't doing too badly, either
Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri is also currently on the books for Sheffield Wednesday's under-14 side.
And he's flying in the youth ranks, after scoring 70 goals last season for the U13s.
He picked up three England Under-21 caps, while 13 of his 41 career goals came in the Prem.
He then went on loan to Fulham in 1999, before joining Bradford City in 2002, where he scored 5 times in 52 appearances.
The forward - who is now an academy coach at Sheffield United - later played for a host of sides, including Leeds, Leicester City and Huddersfield Town.
