scilly owl Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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'!

cognacbarnowl Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The father of one of my friends always used to say he wanted to see Roly Poly Alice before he died. One day she asked him who the feck Roly Poly Alice was. "Them there lights in the sky at the North pole", he answered in all seriousness. True story but no photos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
