One theory here was that Kieran Trippier’s surname was a nickname, due to his on-field ability to “produce distorted sensory perceptions and feelings or altered states of awareness or sometimes states resembling psychosis” in susceptible subjects.
A second was that it came from a Middle English word for shepherd or goatherd, as used by scribes at Bolton Priory in the Yorkshire Dales: “In pane pro Triphyrdes” / “Pro Tripherds”.
But Trippier is from Bury, in Lancashire, home of tripe, and our third theory was that it is from the French tripier, for a dealer in intestines, something which Henry Harrison’s Surnames of the United Kingdom: A Concise Etymological Dictionary seems to consider feasible.
Whatever the truth, the (Lancastrian) Tripe Marketing Board seems to be about to claim Trippier for their own:

Those in need of some type of Tripe Advisor tool will find a short, true history of tripe in Dr Derek J Ripley’s Forgotten Lancashire and Parts of Cheshire & the Wirral, which also establishes Lancashire as “the crucible of fridge magnet development in Britain and the western world.” There’s a review on Lancashire Life.
Meanwhile, it is being said that Kieran Trippier didn’t actually take a penalty last night:
