surname is double barrel but said as one word. Like this: Wallegly
wall egg lee
now add them together
wallegglee
Don't let the laziness of Sky commentators and the other simpletons creep in.
Thank you |  |

Without wanting to be too critical, that's bobbins.
First up, and most importantly, the W is pronounced pretty much like a V is in English.
Then what you've done (probably) is listened to a Norwegian commentary of his name and come up with "Wallegly" when "Varlegli" would probably be closer.
Having said that, to pronounce it in that way, would be like a Norwegian, having spent a day in a Glasgow pub, saying the correct pronunciation of Paul Lambert is in one word: Poorlambu, where the "bu" is pronounced as in "but", but dropping the "t".
What we probably should be saying, as non-native Norwegians is /ˈvɑlːəˈeɡli/ or VARLəEGLi, where the "ə" sound is the same as "er" when we say "sistəbothərə" or sister-botherer.
And then there's i-BAN a-THON

It was interesting watching the extended highlights linked from this site with a Sheffield United commentator who clearly holds the record for not needing to take a breath for at least 45 minutes. He used Leif which suggests he found Davis too difficult!
Phil, can we have a definitive pronunciation for Walle Egeli please? |  |

I might just go with 'the Norwegian lad' until we nail down the right pronunciation. |  |
