The Talisman Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Although not a player, Milan Manderic used to and still does irritate me. It's not difficult especially when the poster before you has written Mandaric. As OwlofOliveGrove mentioned Nuhiu and Joao are commonly wrong. Outside of Wednesday, Alan Green on Five Live says Della Alli. He could just say Alli but each time insists on saying his full name incorrectly.

Guest Arnold Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Can't stand it when people on football heaven say "carvaliho" or something equally as stupid. Also "Big Dave". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to RS this morning and whoever was reading the sports report introduced a clip from an interview with "Rotherham United's Richard Woods"... It's Richard Wood!!! FFS!! I used to sit near a bloke on the kop who continually referred to our goalkeeper as Chris Wood. Is it just Wood(s) people have trouble with? What other players names over the years have people continually got wrong? Does it wind you up? Or do I just need to get over it?

Davidioso Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 French names are the funniest. A lot of commentators have no idea at all about the French alphabet Jacks Maghomer is Alan Biggs take on Jaques Maghoma (should be soft J, silent S, silent H, soft A) Jeremy Heeelan another (should be soft J, silent H, soft E) .....pay attention at the back of class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
