Eddie Howe has launched an impassioned defence of Jason Tindall after he became the latest Newcastle United member of staff to randomly achieve social media stardom.
After the bizarre success of Nick Pope on Twitter earlier this season, Howe's right-hand man is now going viral after a Twitter account dedicated to him blew up in recent days. The account called 'Jason Tindall desperate to be centre of attention' has attracted over 40,000 followers in just a matter of months.
The anonymous Twitter user seems to have a vendetta against Tindall, regularly posting photos and videos of the former Bournemouth boss shaking hands with opposition managers and appearing front and centre in Newcastle's now infamous dressing room photos, subsequently accusing him of seeking the limelight.
