Amid recent reports that suggest Ricky Petterd prefers his name to be pronounced Pettard I found myself questioning why this would be the case.
The answer I found at Etihad.
North supporters behind me found his name of particular comic value when split in two.
Pet - Terd
Pet - ****
which fast became Dog - ****
and rested at **** - Burglar.
I did find this very funny at the time and couldn't help but wonder if schoolboy taunting may just have been the reason for the supposed pronunciation Pett - ard.
Maybe just maybe you can polish a Terd after all
