Two obvious examples to me:
George Boateng - should be pronounced Bwateng but everyone always said how it was spelt.

Tony Andreu - going by his pre-season vid it should be pronounced ‘Ondrur/Andrur’ but we say ‘Andrew/Andreyu’

Any others?

Is Wegerle pronounced as Wegg -er- lee or Wegg - earl? I've heard some American commentators use the latter, but that just sounds fricking weird to me.

I work with a lady from Zimbabwe
She laughs at how I pronounce ndlovu
Let’s just say we are all saying his name wrong
I don't understand the problem.

I always pronounce Peter Ndlovu, Peter Ndlovu.

Simple.

I can’t say Craig Bellamy’s name without adding “tw*t”, or something of that ilk, at the end

Vincenti - is it Vinsenti or Vinchenti?

I know Clive Eakin used to say Vinsentay.

BBC says 'outside the UK'
Is he always getting in trouble then?
Sometimes (quite often actually) you just try too hard to make a joke of everything anyone says.
Now let's see you make a joke out of this.

Don't try hard at all, Gazbola. Always just type the first thing in my head without even thinking.
