The USA international was left stunned as Wigan's then second-string keeper Floyd Croll had Howard scrambling into the back of his net with an incredible Pat Jennings-esque kick at Moss Lane in November 2005.

Croll, now plying his trade lower down the football pyramid with Isthmian League outfit AFC Sudbury, immediately took to Twitter to remind the 32-year-old of his freakish feat.

'I have scored to haven't I Mr Howard #iownyoustill'

It has a different meaning in Poland.

Rapists obviously dress badly in Poland

Not sure a guy in an Arsenal keeper's jersey can call other people out for dressing like a rapist.

This joker apparently said he'd have to padlock his arse if he had the bed next to Gareth Thomas in Celeb Big Brother. Stay classy, footballers on Twitter.

if nothing else this is hopefully going to contribute to a widespread understanding that ppl on Twitter who do that 'hashtag followed by several words run together' thing after every single thing they tweet are horrible thickos

Buster Mottrhymes (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 20:35 (twelve years ago) link

twitter hashtags are the most banal thing ever and possibly the most pass/agg thing ever when they consist of #compoundphraseshighlightingenemiesnotionalfaults

can't believe footballers aren't experts in diplomatic language

Can't believe clubs let them near public fora uncontrolled

don't they get media coaching these days

I wonder, were media coaching graded, how many of them would pass it?

Wish the mighty O's would sack George Porter.

James Mitchell, Thursday, 12 January 2012 23:12 (twelve years ago) link

That Lee Steele was the thing I failed to link to just upthread because I am not good with mobile phone cutting and pasting. Some of the reaction to it on the (usually a cut above the rest) football forum I frequent has just added to my general misanthropy.

ailsa, Friday, 13 January 2012 11:32 (twelve years ago) link

it's the usual really simple point - if i tweeted that with my name and professional status attached to it i would almost certainly be fired, DUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH

Poppy Newgod and the Phantom Banned (Noodle Vague), Friday, 13 January 2012 11:35 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, I would have thought so too. Though it's giving the "OMG, PC gone mad, are they banning joeks bruv lol" etc etc twunts a nice platform to air their general idiocy.

Talking of idiocy, Jeff Winter is a tool.

If you get rid of the 'who' in the thread title, you have my answer.

this thread is going to be useful for me in my new endeavour. going to have a twitter called something like "footballers doing things" dedicated to RTing footballers who are going to nando's or the cinema, etc.

zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 26 January 2012 19:51 (twelve years ago) link

Basically all footballers do is talk about going to Nandos unless they are Joey Barton or Jos Hooiveld or Cillian Sheridan.

ailsa, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:24 (twelve years ago) link

Or Dominic Cervi, he goes to Tropeiro instead, and quotes the bible a lot.

ailsa, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link

i live really near tropeiro and have never been. because i suspect it will be shite. celtic players liking it isn't really swinging me.

zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

but im semi intrigued. i should go just to satisfy my curiosity.

it was all a dream i used to watch Swansea City in division 3 now they in the premier league playing top 4 teams

@ftbllrsdoinstff

ok ive started on this. just on a following spree at the moment, then ill let the sweet sweet tweets come to me. yes i understand there is no reason why anyone would want to follow an account that aggregates boring tweets by footballers.

zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 26 January 2012 22:31 (twelve years ago) link

ha, i was gonna direct you towards phil neville

Number None, Thursday, 26 January 2012 22:44 (twelve years ago) link

he's going to be mvp i think.

zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 26 January 2012 22:56 (twelve years ago) link

Aww, the chat between Phil and Gary is quite endearing.

I would recommend the entire fucking Brentford squad ("training done...time to hit westfield") and Boro lad @joebennett27 (who has protected his endless Nandos and FIFA updates)

oppet, Friday, 27 January 2012 00:21 (twelve years ago) link

aye ive a few brentford. niall mcginn of brentford, who used to be at celtic, tweets about nando's about once a week. the holy trifecta is really the cinema, nando's and fifa, with coffee chains getting an honourable mention.

zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Friday, 27 January 2012 00:32 (twelve years ago) link

a friend and i actually went to the cinema then nando's today, pretending we were footballers for a day.

zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Friday, 27 January 2012 00:33 (twelve years ago) link

I have never been to Nando's

Number None, Friday, 27 January 2012 00:34 (twelve years ago) link

it's alright.

i am now following 274 professional footballers. that's enough for one night.

My favourite thing about following footballers on Twitter is seeing the deluded ones who believe the people who beg for retweets because footballer X is their favourite footballer. Seriously. No-one in the history of football has ever had Niall McGinn or Cillian Sheridan as their favourite Celtic player, yet every other week you get a "u cud huv been a Celtic legend, u were my fave player, please RT".

ailsa, Friday, 27 January 2012 09:46 (twelve years ago) link

i wd rather eat in KFC than Nando's no lie

summer sun, something's begun, but uh-oh those tumblr whites (Noodle Vague), Friday, 27 January 2012 10:21 (twelve years ago) link

Well i just found out Nando's actually recently opened their first Dublin branch, perhaps i will go investigate it this weekend. Exciting

Number None, Friday, 27 January 2012 10:34 (twelve years ago) link

McGinn can't even hack it at Brentford, so the idea of him becoming a Celtic legend is laughable. Our keeper @rleegk has positioned himself as a sort of footballing Alain de Botton, tweeting a load of Clinton Cards 'inspirational' neuro-linguistic bullshit.
