It occurred to me today that there suddenly seems to be so many young male footballers emerging in the premier league with double barrelled names.

I recall the first time I remember seeing a player with a double barrelled name play in the premier league was Shaun Wright-Phillips at the middle of the 00’s, and I remember thinking then it was an usual sighting, but nowadays it is a lot more common to see.

Here are some examples I thought of when making this post:
