CYBER surfer Stuart Holden hopes to have something to ‘tweet’ about at Spurs tomorrow night.

The US international is set to make his Wanderers debut at White Hart Lane, where he will be aiming to help Owen Coyle’s side help his side reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

And if he is successful, the 24-year-old midfielder might well head straight online to brag about the result to his friends across the pond on the popular social networking site, Twitter.

“I still use it but I have toned it down a bit recently,” he said. “Over here there are so many media outlets that, while it’s not exactly frowned upon, tweeting is not as lively. I use it as a way to connect with fans for charity stuff.

“I have my own charity back in Houston so I have been using Twitter to promote that and keep it going.

“But it would be nice to tweet about something good after the game.”

Two people a lot closer to home will also be bursting with pride at Holden’s first action with the Whites.

The former Houston Dynamo playmaker’s grandparents live just 10 minutes down the road from the Reebok in Hindley — and their presence in the North West has helped him settle quickly into his new surroundings.

His move to the area has also enabled him to visit the grave of his father, Brian, whose ashes were brought over from the US after he lost his battle against pancreatic cancer last year, aged 55.

And it was an episode that drives Holden’s ambition to make a success of his second stint in the Premier League, having spent a short spell at Sunderland earlier in his career.

“It’s been nice to have them so close,” he said. “I got to see my dad’s grave for the first time last week on the anniversary of his death.

“That was emotional but it was good because I was able to be there for them.

“It’s been tough losing your dad and biggest supporter. Last year started badly with that but it ended up being the best year of my career to date.

“I have used that and his inspiration to influence my career in a positive way.

“I wear the wrist band he wore for six years. I have not taken it off to this day.

“It was a tough fight but his memory lives on. And every time I play I know he is watching.

“He saw me at Sunderland and he got to experience my professional career in Houston.

“He was my number one fan and I know he would be proud I have signed for Bolton.”

Holden was actually born in Aberdeen, moving away from Scotland at the age of 10. It appeared that he had dived headlong into embracing his roots yesterday when he arrived at Euxton clutching a six-pack of Iron Bru, only to explain the soft drinks were a punishment for losing a game of five-a-side in training against Whites assistant boss Sandy Stewart.

The Anglo-Scottish rivalry is bound to resurface this summer, when Holden hopes to be part of the US squad bound for South Africa, and an opening fixture against Fabio Capello’s England.

“I still have some strong roots and ties,” he said. “The guys have been giving me stick, asking whether I am a Yankee or a Jock.

“But my accent starts to creep back in when I’m mixing with the group. But I still have that American twang but it’s nice knowing the culture and coming back here.

“I have tried not to get involved in the politics of it all. My dad was English and my mum is Scottish so there is a bit of a divide in the house. That first game is going to be massive with us playing such a big team and the strongest team in our group.”
