    Is it just me, or do commentators just love saying this guy's name?

    Every match he's on the commentators say his name repeatedly, even when he's not invloved in the action!.

    I see he has retired from the Finland set up as well to prolong his career. More of that trend.

    I find it more annoying with the English commentators shouting out there stars players names on Champions League nights.

    That said Magee is guilty of it as well. Was watchin the Premiership a couple of weeks back and he was giving Reid credit for everything Whitehead was doing. It was embarrassing fair.

    Having two similar names really seems to make you a good footballer
    Jussi Jääskeläinen.......Zinedine Zidane
    If only we had a Paddy Patterson!

    They just have the same letters though - they dont sound the same!
    It takes more than alliteration to make you a good footballer :P

    Wasting his career at Bolton tbh. Though he may have kids/emotional attachment to the area or what have you.

    I think you mean Alliteration.


    As for the OP, I think it's the George Hamilton factor. The more foreign a name sounds the more of a kick he gets out of wrapping his tongue around it. Sometimes he likes just saying players names because he's asked the kit man of said team how to pronounce every player's name and insists on letting us know that he can do it.
    I think all commentators suffer from the George Hamilto factor.
