Did the Dawson brothers play for Forest at the same time?

Who will BooBaby boo?
Seeing Andrew Dawson playing for Hull at the weekend made me wonder if he or Kevin Dawson played alongside Michael for Forest.

I seem to recall there being two dawsons in the matchday squad but not both getting a game.

Andy left while Kevin and Michael were still in the youth set up.

Kevin actually broke into the team first and I think I'm right in saying Michael got his chance when Kevin got injured. Don't think they ever played together...
 
I can find a few games at the back end of the 01/02 season where Kevin started and Michael was an unused sub and vice versa. Doesn't seem they ever played together.

Kevin was released in the summer of '02 and Michael became a regular in 02/03.
 
Would have been weird if they all made it at Forest. I wonder if any team has ever fielded 3 brothers at once?

From Rod Wallace's Wikipedia:

On 22 October 1988, his two brothers Danny and Ray lined up alongside him in the Southampton team in a match at The Dell against Sheffield Wednesday; this was the first time three brothers had played in the same team in English professional top-flight football.

Good knowledge!
 
Eastbourne Borough have three brothers in their side as well. They did last season anyway.
 
The Singh brothers have a good representation in this team.
 
Not for the first team but yes for the youth teams and I am fairly sure it happened for the reserves.
