Steven Gerrard announced his retirement last week - just as a young family member announced himself to the world with a record breaking hat-trick against Brazil.

Bobby Duncan is a young cousin of former Liverpool skipper Gerrard - but unlike his famous relative, Bobby does not play for the Reds, but actually plies his trade for Manchester City. At just 15-years-old, Bobby has already etched his name in the history books by becoming the first Englishman ever to net a hat-trick against Brazil, when he pulled off the feat in a 4-3 win for the England U16s against their Brazilian counterparts. It's the first time any English player has grabbed three against the Seleção at any level. And young Bobby was clearly a a bit chuffed, as well you would be. https://www.instagram.com/p/BNUGu9GDUKt/?taken-by=bobbyduncan9 And cousin Steven was also impressed, posting this message on his Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNT_oBCjsJM/?taken-by=stevengerrard&hl=en Has the baton been passed on?
