Considered by many to be the worst commentator on English television. David's quirky commentary nonetheless guarantees an enjoyable televised match. He not only frequently, but predominantly pronounces foreign players names wrongly, especially those unfortunate enough to end in an "a". Such examples include:

"Lizazaru" (Bixente Lizarazu) "Kakarrr" (Kaka) "Dirk Kurt" (Dirk Kuyt) "Drogbarrr" (Drogba) "Adrianianho" (Adriano) "Mack-cher-arno" (Mascherano) "Riqwelme" & "Rick Elm" (Riquelme) "In-ga-zee" (Inzaghi) "Ronald-deano" (Ronaldinho) "Pearlo" (Andrea Pirlo) "Poil" (Carles Puyol) "Inn-esta" (Iniesta) "Do-Roy" (Johan Djourou) "Rays" (Reyes) "Roque Junior" (Roque Santa Cruz - entirely different nationality and player) "Vieira" (Vieri) "Sevilia" (Sevilla - the club) "Yung-berg" (Ljungberg) "Marcus Da Beasley" (DaMarcus Beasley) "Ayorla" (Ayala) "Gilar-dinho", "Gilardini" and "Gilardine" - all in the space of 90 minutes (Alberto Gilardino) "Marqwez" (Rafael Marquez) "Heintzer" (Gabriel Heinze) "Shev-shenko" (Shevchenko) "Louie Garcia" (Luis Garcia) "Jockin", "Joe-Quinn" "Way-kin" (Joaquin)

Besides his legendary mispronunciation of global stars, Pleat also has an obsession with commenting on wide players/wingers (the position he played in). If a team is struggling to create goal scoring chances, David invarriably "just feel(s)" that the answer is for the full-backs to get forwards more often - thereby offering more "width" and "pace" in attack.

He ALWAYS introduces himself to the viewers with a "good evening" or "evening all".

In a Champions League match in 2006 he comically mispronounced 'superiority' as 'supority'. His other claim to commentating fame is his famous cry of "and Arsenal must now really feel that the sight is in end" seconds before Arsenal surrendered their lead in the 2005/06 Champions League final versus FC Barcelona.

Since the World Cup has started, he has shown no sign of slowing down with his mention of the classic 4-3-2 formation which the USA played against Italy, failing to recognise that they only had 8 outfield players on the pitch, following two dismissals. This was the same game in which he quipped "you can smell the fatigue". In another group stage match, Sweden vs. Paraguay, he claimed that the yellow replica shirts worn by the Swedish fans 'could make things confusing for the referee'. In the second round match between Portugal and The Netherlands, he referred to Maniche's first half goal as 'swift as a shot'. In the same game, Pleat compared Scolari's tactics to those of "the other Portuguese coach", Jose Mourinho, which was pronounced 'Mourino'. His bizarre commentary continued in the quarter final between Spain and France when after France's equaliser he cried: 'Ribery took the ball around the goalkeeper like an experienced old head.'

Mr Pleat has several favourite adjectives/words and phrases, which get regular air-time:

"Pace" "Power" "Full-back(s)" "Stamina" "Endeavour" "Width" "(Good) Evening everybody" "I just feel..." "Strength" "Diagonal ball" "Like a game of chess" "Tempo"
