People who can't get players names right.


Recommended Posts

Have a read of the latest Jack Charlton autobiography... he got everybody's name wrong.

Mick Channon used to call Garry Lineker "Linacre" ( as in "I've got 40 acres") and Barry "supercilious " Davies called Solskjaer "Scheolshkaara" in a "this is the correct pronouncement "sort of way.

I always pronounced Chris Morgan as P*ss Moron, and I'm still to be convinced that I'm wrong.

The most obvious ones being balllsed up currently are Joao and Nuhiu.

 

The one that winds me up most is De Bruyne in all its variations (obvs not Wednesday but it's on MOTD weekly). Makes mi teeth itch hearing it wrong.

 

Ive never seen anyone on here spell Dave wrong

John motson made up his own ones too. One that drove me up the wall was when Chelsea played .... “What a goal by Drogbarrrr” .... shut the F00k up it’s Drogba !! 

 

John Motson used to call Pirlo 'Pearlo', just so that when he scored he could say 'it's a pearler from Pirlo'.

 

I'm sure there was an England vs France game once where Barry Davies got so tied up with pronouncing all the French players that when Alan Shearer had a chance he shouted 'Shearair'!
