Essendon star Orazio Fantasia addressed the pronunciation of his name on the Friday Huddle with Howie in August last year, saying that he’s used to the way BT says it.

“I’ve had it all through high school and primary,” Fantasia said.

“No one can say it properly so it’s just normal for me now.”

The pronunciation of Fantasia’s name is back in the news after Bruce McAvaney and Basil Zempilas switched to the traditional version on Channel 7 last night.

BT clarified that he intends to continue pronouncing it the way he always has.
