    We all know its pronounced DK, I certainly do, so why does my brain read it as Dike when I see it in writing? :confused:

    Why should anyone change the way they spell their own name just because a few folk can't say it correctly?

    In all honesty, if you are a poorly prepared commentator you will get it wrong. It is just extra entertainment for now.

    I also see it as Dike, tbf he probably did and said f%^k that I'm now know as DK, similar to David Ginola, in France its Da vid, well in England mate its simply David, oh ( appologies) Will I am no mate your William but you fudged it because how can a singer of your ability and type of music genre be simply known as William
