Hello internet: Leicester's Paul Gallagher joins Twitter with a bang (literally)

He’s not the first footballer to embrace social networking, but Leicester City striker Paul Gallagher made a nearly instantaneous impression.

WITH DISTRUST OF the media at an all-time high, Twitter affords the modern footballer a relationship with the public that bypasses the distortions inherent in the modern interview process.

But as Hayley Gallagher, wife of Leicester City’s Scottish striker Paul Gallagher, discovered on Twitter the yesterday evening: sometimes a little editing goes a long way.

Aside from embarrassing his wife, Gallagher succeeded in drawing a huge number of retweets, one of which came from his mother-in-law.

Awkward.
