First The Notorious, now Trigger.
Jason McAteer is witty, charming, loquacious, scored the winner against The Netherlands in 2001 and constantly bristled Roy Keane. What’s not to love?
The former Liverpool and Ireland midfielder, as of 8 a.m this morning, had 92,611 followers on Twitter.
A notification ping informed him of follower 92,612 – adult film star Jenna Jameson.
The American pin-up and pop culture icon followed her “obsession”, Conor McGregor recently and continued her Irish offensive by hopping on-board McAteer’s social media train, much to his delight.
