Twin Footballers who have won Championships together

#4 Rafael & Fabio da Silva

Rafael was suspended for an important Manchester United fixture. Sir Alex Ferguson joked "I might play Rafa and they wouldn't know -- I could do that quite easily! So it's not really a suspension at all". Such is the similarity between the da Silva brothers. Not just that they look similar but their style, game play and temper are carbon copies of each other.

Although they share 3 Premier League trophies, Fabio has got only one medal to show as he failed to feature in the required number of games.

The duo has also lifted the South American Under-17 Football Championship together. In 2013, Fabio left for Cardiff City seeking more first team opportunities. The separation between the twins was a painful sight for every Manchester United supporter, and of course, for the brothers.
