At least he doesn't play for Shrewsbury, or is that Shrewsbury?

Could be worse could be Kevin Ratcliffe who adds 'the lad' before saying someone's name.

He's ex Shrews I think.

Well done Newport County today

I had a bit of a laugh at the pronunciation on match of the day last night.

Notts County have a player called Jorge Grant (on loan to us from Forest). Although spelled differently his name is pronounced "George". The match commentator couldn't make their mind up how to say it and tried "whore-gay" "jaw-gay" and "whore-gee"

David pleat likes to posh names up a bit.

He almost 'Euronises' players names - not that such a word exists.

Ha, I used to be in the Daily Telegraph Fantasy Football League and always had Paul Scholes as one of ma midfielders. I used to pronounce his name Paulo Scholsé to make him sound more interesting
