Pronunciation of Wout Weghorst

Post by morpheus2 » Fri Feb 04, 2022 10:35 pm

Obviously wanting to welcome the new signing with his own song - I have been informed by a facebook friend that Wout Weghorst is pronounced 'Wood Woodwood' so I was thinking that to the tune of "da da da da, Owen Coyle" we could sing "Da da da da Wood Wood Woodwood" etc, Yes?

I think you just pronounce it as it’s written, but you have to say it in the voice of Pontius Pilate from The Life of Brian.

Ive got a Dutch mate - Tiew Lippz (from Amsterdam) who reckons the pronunciation is Woody WoodWoods (the equivalent of our Willy Woodward I think).

From watching games with Gernan commentary where he has played in, the pronunciation is Vout Veghorst.

The 'h' in his surname is similar when trying to clear your throat. There's no comparable word in the English language that uses this sound. The 's' in his surname is a 'shh' sound.

Especially if his Grandad was Ed Wood the Film Director of such classics as "Plan 9 from outer space" "Orgy of the dead" and "Necromania"
