    I don't actually know if it's Aluk-o or Aluk-u but it's definitely Shawny.

    To be honest I'd forgot all about him, which is a reflection of how he's faded since injured

    But good luck to him and thanks for the goals

    Despite having only four letters in his name there are a variety of ways of pronouncing it.I can not think of any other people with the same name..plus commentators always emphasise syllables when there is a goal chance.Think Rooney has about 6 O.s in his name when he is about to pull the trigger.

    If I was a commentator or pundit, I'd simply ask the player himself. He told me that it's Shawny.

    I always thought it was Sony or Sunny, never met him though. JJ was much easier!:1980_boogie_down:

    We should have just called him "Dave".

    Scored some class goals but i'm still left with a "what might have been" feeling, always thought he was super talented but never quite hit the heights
