Of the many difficult names to pronounce in sports, Detroit Red Wings center Andreas Athanasiou might be one of the toughest.

That proved to be true on Thursday night as the Red Wings traveled to Boston to take on the Bruins. Boston play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards fumbled over Athanasiou's name in epic fashion.

I'll admit, I had no idea how to say Athanasiou's name until I heard it several, several times on the telecast.

What do you think are some of the most difficult names to pronounce in sports history?
