Quality tweets

I've not really got into the whole #followfriday thing on twitter. I think I'd exhaust the list of my absolute favourites within a couple of Fridays.

However one bloke I've got to recommend is the tweeting genius @trimmtrab. His bio describes him as "Non league footie fan, occasional whinger, collector of trainers, wearer of fine fashion, wish it was still the 80s." but he's much more than that.

While Michael T, Neil T and I were larking about before Awaydays on Friday, we tried to recreate the front cover of the original Sampson novel (Michael has since carried the pic of our trainers on his blog). Of course there was no way @trimmtrab was going to let us have all the fun and he has since sent a message with a twitpic of him wearing adidas London. What a legend.

His thoughts on terrace retro, football casuals and the like make him a 21st Century successor to those great footy fanzines of the 80s if you ask me. The End in 140 characters or less.

If you do start following him, I would recommend you make sure you look back through his twitterstream and catch up with all his thoughts to-date. It's well worth it. One particular favourite was his request, as a catholic, for a special edition pair of running shoes called adidas opus dei, with spikes on the inside.
