    Thanks for guidance on pronunciation of Kiszko.

    More urgently, in case he makes any more first team appearances in goal for Manchester United, please give the poor ignorant huddled red masses (and the Radio 5 sports desk) some guidance on 'Kuszczak'. I can smugly say that I know the correct pronunciation, only because I have a Polish friend whose name comprises 'szcz'.
