The Swansea ballboy whose on-pitch antics and pre-match Tweeting brought him 100,000 new Twitter followers in just over 24 hours has addressed his new disciples for the first time.

Give it another week or two and it's easy to imagine the vast majority of the 100,000 won't even remember why they're following some teenager from Wales.

Either he has plenty of interesting tweets about his job lined up, or his follower count will plummet. How bothered he'll be about that, I dunno.
