I do think there is an element of truth in what he said. Like it or not his name possibly gives him a very slight advantage, but not enough to get upset about.
I think the only advantage his name would give him is access to a trial. After that, he's on his own and any offer of a place would be down to his aptitude and potential. I doubt there's much room for sentiment in RL team budgets.
