Ken Sema was surprised.

A quick interview with Watford's media team after he scored two goals in a 3-2 win over West Brom - nothing out of the ordinary there, a routine part of a footballer's post-match duties.

But that brief chat posted on Twitter, a one minute 41 second exchange about his return from injury and goal technique, blew up.

His stammer had caught the attention of millions. He just thought he'd had a good game.

"For the video to become so big, it was amazing because there was so much love, so many big names like 'role model', 'inspiration' - that I'd helped so many kids or adults who also have a stammer," midfielder Sema told BBC Breakfast.
