actually i don't know
His name - one of the longest in European football - derives from the 17th century, when two farming families in the Enschede area of the Netherlands intermarried. Both the Vennegoor and Hesselink names carried equal social weight, and so - rather than choose between them - they chose to use both. "Of" in Dutch translates to "or" in English, which would mean that a strict translation of his name would read 'Jan Vennegoor or Hesselink'.[2] This could be considered as having the same effect as the double-barrelling of English surnames.
Oh, and i was very bored, sooo...

From the Guardian:
"I remember Franco Foda, a three-time German Cup winner with Kaiserslautern, Leverkusen and Stuttgart between 1990 and 1997 and now head coach of Austrian team SK Sturm Graz," writes Florian. "Despite his success elsewhere he only played twice for Germany, making his debut away to Brazil in December 1987. Obviously this would usually be a great honour, but not so much in Foda's case. He came on as a substitute with eight minutes to go, emerging to howls of laughter from the stands as his name went up on the scoreboard. Franco foda, sadly, means "****ing for free" in Portuguese. Brazil's players may have been distracted a bit, too: Stefan Reuter snatched an equaliser in the 90th minute."
