I always find Heinz sauce more reliable tbhDhenry said:Bulgiaria doesn't use the latin alphabet. Hence, it's odd they have the names spelt in latin letters anyway.
But anyway, that makes his names transliteration a bit irreleavant, the only truly accurate way would be to say "Божинов"
also:
Valeri Bozhinov is the correct English transliteration of his birth name Валери Божинов; his current club, Manchester City, use the name Bojinov, which is the French and Portuguese transliteration.

Alot of people do it, my name is Arabic and translates differently into French and English, two ways of spelling it.bazamancity1 said:but why whouldnt he have that name on his city shirt i wouldnt change my name what ever language they spoke your name is your name.
That annoys me so much. Calls him 'hueynov' or something stupid!banbury_blue said:Still doesn't explain why Martin Tyler pronounces it wrong on Fifa!!
