Ole Gunnar Solskjær - Manchester United & Norway (soccer)

His has to be one of the most mispronounced names on British TV; no football commentator or newsreader that I heard, ever managed to get it right.
... it goes like this: 'Oh-leh Goon-our Soul-Shire'

I'll always remember Angela Rippon on BBC News as she wrapped her tongue around names like Ndabaningi Sithole.

... it's just sooooo easy to get it wrong....
