Broadcaster Alan Green was slammed on social media and criticised by Match of the Day colleagues during a blundering return to the BBC on Wednesday evening.
Green, who has been working as the in-house TV commentator for Atlanta United in the USA's Major League Soccer, was given the showcase Tottenham v Real Madrid Champions League match for his comeback on Radio 5 Live.
But Green caused immediate upset by wrongly pronouncing the name of Real Madrid's Marcelo, arguably the world's best-known left back, calling him 'Mar-chelo' rather than 'Mar-selo'.
Among those to be hugely unimpressed were Match of the Day mainstay Steve Wilson, who tweeted — obviously referring to Green — 'You'd have thought after more than 10 years playing for Brazil and Real Madrid everyone would know how to say Marcelo's name.
