If you’re on Twitter (as I am), then you must follow journeyman footballer Leon Knight. Knightie, as he prefers to be known, is GOLD.
Some examples of his tweets:

GOLD.
Leon Knight is 28, though you wouldn’t know it from his shaky grasp of the English language, nor his knockabout Semitic stereotypes. As he admits, he’s been around the block – you should check out his career path on Wiki – and along the way earned a rep as a player with plenty of raw talent but an equally abrasive attitude; those who defend him claim he’s misunderstood, equally I know some fans who have no time for him at all. Smoke meet fire.
He’s currently without a home, and he’s in dispute with former club Rushden & Diamonds; he claims the club have invoked a clause in a contract signed in 2008 to retain his registration until the end of 2010-11. This has put a spanner in Knight’s proposed move to Darlington, a cause of obvious frustration for the player, as his recent tweets have shown.
Anyway, we recommend you follow @knightie82 and you’ll certainly be first to hear when he finds a new club.
