READING FC star Callum Harriott has dropped his eye-catching Twitter handle for something more modest.

The winger was formally known as Cally_messi on the social media site, likening him to Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.

However, today he changed his handle to @Ckharriott, and he was not entirely happy about it.

He tweeted: "Changed my Twitter handle and lost my verification, cheers."
