Sunderland ace Darren Bent will celebrate his addiction to Twitter in unique style today.

Bent will line up against West Ham today wearing his new limited-edition Twitter Umbro Speciali boots, which have the website's logo and his username - dbthetruth - on the tongues.

He told The Sun: "It was a joint idea with Umbro. I love Twitter and I just wanted to do something to show that. Like Twitter, the boots are a bit of fun. People take things too seriously.

"If you can't enjoy life and have a laugh, there's no point living."
