To non-football fans, it may be slightly puzzling as to why goal updates are attracting some much attention from so many on Twitter – but it’s City’s originality that is setting them apart from the rest.
At the start of the 2017/18 season, The Robins’ media officer got the players to give a wacky celebration in front of a green screen and used them for their goal updates. Aden Flint’s celebration below attracted over 10,000 retweets.

Brilliant.
Winger Jamie Paterson said to the BBC that’s it showing footballers in a different light and taking the seriousness out the game. And after seeing what he came up with, we have to say we agree.
