How do you pronounce 'Saward'?

[Goldstone Rapper]

OK, it's a bit embarrassing to not know... but then again, he stopped being Albion manager years before I was born.

So... how do you pronounce 'Saward' as in Pat Saward?
Is it Saw-wood?
Saw-ward?
Say-ward?
Say-wood?
Sa-ward?
Sa-wood?

Say ward. When ever he came down to the dugout the opposition scored.

 

[defrocked priest]

Say-wood He's Irish.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Oooo.... thanks for the answers. So it's either Say-wood or Say-ward?

 

[defrocked priest]

I am quite sure it is Say-wood.

 

[Bish Bosh]

Definitely 'say-ward'.

Trust me...I was there!

 

[The Ringleader]

say-wood. My year 1 teacher was called saward

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

It was more of a Say-werd.

The last bit did not really sound like a fully pronounced ward or wood or word.

 

[Gwylan]

It was more of a Say-werd.

The last bit did not really sound like a fully pronounced ward or wood or word.

I'd agree with that..it was closer to wood than ward but more of a mix between the two

Yeah, it's a bit hard to explain, sort of 'Say-wd' with the second syllable 'bitten off'.. Which I suppose sounds like 'wood', but it wasn't pronounced as 'say-wood', i.e. as two distinct words.

There. I'm sure that's cleared it up.

Did not know he played "amateur" for Crystal Palarse !

Mind you the whole squad was Amateur back then !!

 

[Jerryatric]

It's easy:
Say the word "say" and then say the word "word".
Say-word
OK?

 

[Here's Johnny!]

I say Say-Wood but always pronounce words wrong.

Happy to add this to the list which includes:
Almond
Scone
Mario
etc etc etc

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I go for Say-ward but, now you mention it, wood & word/werd would not have sounded wrong. I think it's the 'say' that's important.

 

[Frutos]

Almond
Scone
Mario
etc etc etc

The others I can understand, but how can you mispronounce 'Mario'?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Thanks for the suggestions on Saywd or Sayward!

To Frutos, I guess some people may pronounce Mario as Mair-rio. The fools!

i would imagine the yeovil fans will be singing it during the match
