Father of Chelsea's Mancienne also international footballer

International success runs in the family of Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne.

The defender is yet to play for Chelsea but has impressed England manager Fabio Capello enough in a loan spell at Wolves to get the nod for Wednesday's friendly in Germany.

And Mancienne's dad, also Michael, was an international star - with the Seychelles.

The family moved to England from the Indian Ocean islands in 1985, three years before the star was born.
