    Just wondering how should we pronounce Santon's first name.
    David? Da-vid-day or maybe Day-vi-day? So confused :grin:

    Bob - It's the Italian version of Dave as a nickname.

    I read somewhere on twitter the other day that a journo asked him and it is in fact Dav-eed-ay. Strange.

    haha well I know I wouldn't say no, he's a handsome chap. In Italian the basic rule of thumb is to pronounce every letter.

    Italian is different from French, they don't use the 'é'.
