i’m wondering the same thing as paddy. if it weren’t for gary taylor-fletcher, it would seem that double-barreled means black.
as for the spot on his reo-coker’s chest, i’m also curious about that. seems like villa players get that on their shirts a lot, or at least ashley young does. sweat maybe?
@frank: thanks for explaining that, although i could do without being called a spanner. wasn’t exactly obvious. maybe it’s a culture gap, but i would have called it “top 10 footballers with hyphenated names.” is double-barrelled a common term for that in the UK?
Good to see Abdulai Bell-Baggie on the list, or Bilbo Baggins as we called him when he was on loan at Vale! Troy Archibald-Henville and Shane Cansdell-Sherriff should definately be in there ,along with another former Vale stalwart Marc Bridge-Wilkinson.
Maybe we could see a double barrel first name list with the likes of Trond-Egil Soldvedt and Jay-Jay Ockocha on there!
@trstra
You kinda answered yourself as to why they aren’t there.. Only one IS double barrelled. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
As for other double barrelled names (and he’s white. And Scottish. As far as I’m aware the only double barrelled name to represent Scotland) there’s Craig Mackail-Smith at Peterborough.

England only? If not what about the artist formerly known as Colin Kazim-Richards? Though he has a new name now I believe, Kazim Kazim?

‘Double barrelled’ is a family name in two parts..you spanner
@mareantheone + dave – I think its Vicks or something like that, to help the poor lambs breathe better
@ Chris – Yeah, it’s a decongestant vapor rub thing
What about the highly under-rated Aussie having a blinding season in League 2 – Shane Cansdell Sherriff at Shrewsbury Town??
Shirley the wonderfully named Troy Archibald-Henville at Exeter City should be in there :)
@ Gary – Ah, I decided to have an Argyle player in there instead ;)
Jose Manuel Reina
Juan Manuel Mata
John Obi Mikel???
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar?
Morten Gamst Pedersen
Vicks Vapor Rub, like said lets players breathe better. Ruins the fabric though, cunts.
