gareth is so right. i was going to mention him after psv's game the other night but forgot. it's so ridiculously romantic and heroic.

I think a nice last name is "6".

Wasn't there a Perri 6 who worked for dim bulb think tank Demos back in the day?

is he an aristocrat? Gianluca Vialli is.

obviously the British response is "how can an aristocrat be a footballer?", but then they don't play cricket and rugby in most of continental Europe :).

If you want to know, the double naming comes from common practice in rural Twenthe. The case: a man married a girl who had no brothers, thereby inheriting the farm and the land. The girl's family name of course had to remain connected to the farm, so it was added to the name of the happy groom.

An acquaintance of mine (friend of a friend that I see socially from time to time) is named Norman Six.
