Give it both barrels

[Patrick Thistle]

Liverpool's 7-0 humiliation of the mighty Maribor tonight had the added bonus of two double-barrelled names on the scoresheet for the same team.

Has this happened before? Has there ever been three?

PT - empty your mailbox... so I can send you one....

Dunno about goalscorers but I could make a pretty decent XI if I could just find a keeper:

I didn't know that filled up

Looking through the England youth squads for further players, Maitland-Niles in the under-21s, Buckley-Ricketts (under-20s) and Gibbs-White, Oakley-Boothe, Hudson-Odoi, Smith-Rowe and Lyons-Foster (under-17s) have all had call-ups in the last year. No goalkeepers though.

There's always the Wright-Phillips brothers.

On a similar note, what was that stat about the number of players called "Harry" in the England team the other week?

The Princess Di legacy

[Kevin S]

Unless my eye is passing over someone, this site suggests that Sylvain Ebanks-Blake (twice) is the only player with a double-barreled surname to be top scorer in either of the top two divisions of the English league.

I should add that Nathaniel Mendez-Laing did not score for Wolves during this period.

[Stumpy Pepys]

I have an old Bolton v Southampton programme at my parents' house, featuring Forbes Phillipson-Masters.

Who sounds like he should be playing polo, but I think he became a painter and decorator after he finished playing.

[3 Colours Red]

I found a keeper... albeit one currently playing in the sixth tier (he is on the books at Leeds though).

Bailey Peacock-Farrell completes the teamsheet.

[Kevin S]

This has taken a long time to find. But it's been fun.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Surely that's just two double-barrelled names, Kev?

[Kevin S]

Yes, answering the first question. And even this took a fair while to track down!

[Toby Gymshorts]

Ah, I see. Apologies.

And good work (saddo).

[Patrick Thistle]

Yep. Good work Kev. We now have 2011 as Year Zero on the double-double-barrelled goalscorers.

It doesn't count if it's just three surnames.

[3 Colours Red]

I blame the parents.
