Pah.

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. THAT's a huge name

Wasn't he actual royalty of some kind?

Wasn't he actual royalty of some kind?

Good old Wiki has this:

British newspaper The Guardian researched his unusual sounding name and found that he was thus named because:
...way back in the 17th century, two farming families in the Enschede area of Holland 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 actually translates to 'or', which would mean that a strict translation of his name would read Jan Vennegoor or Hesselink.
