But there were others that were.
The best thing I found to do was to try and seek out the local commentator.
I learned this from 78 when I was with the Dutch who were in Mendoza and I became friendly with some of the Dutch broadcasters.
still friends with them after all these years, but it was almost put on a plate for me because they were talking the names of these players and it was easy for me to pick up on that.
And through that I then kind of learned, you know, if you have a difficulty, find the commentator who's from the country and let him run through the team with you.
And invariably, I would get people with Ireland.
Is it McGrath or McGrath?
Is it Moran or Moran?
And they would come to just check.
I was the one who got John Motsen to say Paul McGrath's name and Kevin Moran's name, correct?
Well, people are still saying Moran.
Yeah, there you go.
They haven't learned their lesson yet.
No, no.
But anyway, on that subject, we were in Nuremberg in the 06 World Cup.
and the Netherlands were playing, and they'd brought in a new centre-forward.
And when the team sheet came, and I looked at it, I didn't have a clue how to pronounce this name.
And I looked all around for the Dutch, and they were nowhere to be seen.
They must have been at the other end of the commentary area.
So I had a brainwave, and I left the position, and I went out onto the concourse behind the stand, and I found a Dutchman in all the gear.
