About

Stephen Gallagher grew up in Wellington, New Zealand and understands that pronouncing Polynesian, Melanesian and Māori names can be tricky, especially if you haven't grown up around them and the culture like he has. He strongly believes we should all strive to improve player name pronunciation.
