Footballers are on Twitter these days and use it as a form of expressing themselves and sharing interesting happenings from the world around them.

Carles Puyol (Spain/Barcelona – 5.6 million followers) [@ Carles5puyol]

The hard-man from Catalonia who has played for Barcelona all his life tweets regularly on his workouts and other things related to football. He is never shy either of lending his two cents to matters pertaining to the national political scene.

He also happens to be dating Vanesa Lorenzo, a top Spanish model and hence there are the frequent retweets of updates from Lorenzo’s page.
