Newcastle United ace Allan Saint-Maximin is a breath of fresh air in a world where footballer’s social media accounts are controlled by PR companies.While the likes of Gary Neville demand authenticity from players who post the typical ‘thank you’ message to supporters after matches, Saint-Maximin keeps his followers entertained with many hilarious tweets.The Frenchman is still sidelined by injury, but that does not stop him from replying and posting messages on Twitter.His presence in the Premier League today reminds many of a time footballers, free from the shackles of nosey communication teams, were completely unhinged on social media.Daily Star Sport looks back on eight of the best tweets to have been posted by footballers or individuals connected to clubs.Sometimes the constant “disappointing result yesterday but we go again tweets” infuriate fans more than the result themselves.The authenticity of footballer’s tweets are always under question as some messages sound mysteriously like they are coming from the keyboard of someone else.And former Sunderland and Everton striker Victor Anichebe is a huge reason for this skepticism.

The target-man was asked to post the dreaded ‘thank you’ tweet after Sunderland’s limp 1-0 loss to West Ham.However, the Nigerian hitman seemed to copy and paste the response straight from a text message from one of the media professionals, as his tweet began with “Can you tweet something like”.With sloppiness likes this, it is perhaps no surprise more and more clubs are handing the control of their players’ social media accounts to professionals.What other hilarious footballer tweets can you think of?
