The Slovenian-born forward Gregor Fucka.
Try to imagine how much Gregor Fucka has had to put up with when it comes to his name.
For the record, it’s prounounced “Footschka.” There’s a hacek (Slovene: stresica) over the c, which unfortunately disappears in non-Slavic languages. The result is that English speakers pronounce it as an obscenity.
While we’re on the subject, there’s also a professional athlete named Miroslav Satan. He played hockey for the Buffalo Sabres. Check his ID number on the ESPN page (in the address bar) for a nice, diabolical surprise. This number also turns up on Yahoo! and Sports Illustrated.
