Ugo Ehiogu

Back in 'the day', I remember finding out that 'Ugo' was short for 'Ugochuku' and I always wanted to hear a commentator mention and say it. But never did :mad:

Could've been a great crowd chant if worked into 'Hooked on a Feeling'.

Having watched the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' trailer, and now that you've mentioned that, I'll hear nothing else but Ugochuku now :pac:

One that has amused me is "Semi", at least that's how I heard it during the week in the ECL.

Giaccherini - when Brian Kerr says it - sounds like some little dog he used to own - me little jackerini, ah he was a lovely fella.

Nasri also sounds quite rude in Russian.

Roy Wegerle.

I remember one game early in his QPR career, when he wasn't having a particularly good game. He had just lost the ball again trying to go on a solo run and amongst the quiet, frustrated sighing and muttering in The Loft, a lone voice shouts out, "WEGERLE, WOGGERLY, WANKAAAAAH!" in a strong cockney accent.

Stupid, I know, but I still say it in my head every time I hear his name to this day.

Great player though.

Edited to add for the day that's in it:
