Word on the Tweet: Walker meets the Royal Family as Bale and Fletcher receive awards

Whether it was Kyle Walker meeting the Royal Family, Gareth Bale announcing an award as voted for by the Welsh fans or Titus Bramble congratulating Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher on his Player of the Month award, football players were all over Twitter as usual.

Elsewhere, Stuart Holden and Rio Ferdinand discuss all things football, while others choose to talk about goings-on off the field.

It can only be Goal.com’s latest instalment of Word on the Tweet.
