I recall one of Baddiel and Skinner's Fantasy Football shows featured a player with a triple barreled name.

Jason Lee.I remember the baddiwl and Skinner show .. wasn't it on lat on a Friday night a gallon of boddies and a garlic bread kebab... Amd that guy who had a pineapple on his head! .. forest player ???
Once upon a time it was only the upper classes that had the affliction. Ian Storey-Moore was the first I remember in football. Now it looks like teams are fielding teams of solicitors with some names on the team sheets.
Probably linked to the divorce rate, mothers then remarrying and the kids taking both surnames, that's what I think anyway.

Seems a lot more likely that their parents were actually unmarried, and the kids were given the surnames of both parents.

My favourite ultra posh sounding double barrelled name was that of the former Southampton player Forbes Phillipson-Masters.

I have a list of rules which includes one on names; similar to doule barrel, but not quite the same.
People with a first name as a surname are usually arseholes. Terry Christian is a prime example. Gareth Barry is an exception.
That rule is up there with never trust a woman with earrings bigger than her mouth.
