What is this all about the first name? In the title it sais 'Eric' and in the first line it says 'Erik' (also in the french Wiki. A look at google shows that both are apparently used with a one to eight preference for 'Eric'. Do there exist some official references for both names?Tommy from Belgium 09:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I visited Erik at his home. The certificates on his wall all spell the name Erik. He himself told me he prefers Erik, but I don't sense he feels strongly about it. Neither brother seems that troubled: Roger once said he didn't mind his name being spelled Devlaeminck or De Vlaeminck. In Het Volk, some time around 1979 or 1980.
