Sleaford Town's 'Twitter man' brought on as substitute

Harrison Allen, who was standing in for Sleaford Town's regular club tweeter, had to leave the social media account unmanned to come on as a substitute 70 minutes into Monday's game against Boston.

The tweet has since been retweeted more than 3,700 times and received more than 3,200 likes.

"Our usual tweeter, Jamie Shaw, was away on work," said 18-year-old Allen, who joined the club's youth team aged 12. "I asked if I could have a go. I was just doing my job really.

"There were only three of us on the bench. I was planning on passing the phone to someone else but we all pretty much came on at the same time."

"After the game, we went back in and showered and I decided to bring everyone up to date,"

"Jamie had the notifications on his phone overnight. His phone was beeping non-stop. It's been really fun and I've loved the publicity, which is really good for the club.

"I know the manager, Paul Ward, will be a bit confused by it all. I think he joined Twitter over the weekend so it's quite good timing from him."

Sorry for break in tweets. I came on as a sub for Millard. Other subs were Anderson for Millington and Hollingsworth for Wright
