Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to provide an insight into their lives on social media.
Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from October 20.
Football
Respect for Steve Bruce after he left Newcastle.
You are, without a doubt, one of the most gentle people that I have ever met in the world of football. You have been a man of your word, a caring man and a fair man who never hesitated to protect us. I will never forget how you treated me, for that I will be forever grateful pic.twitter.com/lJgSL5GD4Q

I know how tough it was for any manager at Newcastle for the last 14 years.I also know how badly Steve & his family wanted it to work. In difficult circumstances for everybody, he kept #NUFC up for two seasons. It’s a new era now, but thank you, Steve,for your effort & commitment

Steve Bruce has handled a difficult situation with great dignity during this period. Under trying circumstances and with generally poor recruitment by the club he did as well as realistically could be expected. Wish a very decent man all the very best.

The Wolves squad were taught CPR skills.
At the request of our players, we held a basic life support training session at Compton this afternoon.
You never know when these skills might be needed. Be prepared. pic.twitter.com/iLL8D1EVQj

Gary Lineker was impressed by Leicester’s four-goal forward.
I’m sure you’re all glued to @LCFC’s game in Moscow and will agree that the Foxes do make life difficult for themselves with their defending of late. @PatsonDaka20’s goal could be crucial. I think Leicester might have found another gem. 🤞🏻

He’s only gone and bagged a hattrick. Well played @PatsonDaka20 and the Foxes lead 3-2 from 2 down.

With 4 goals @PatsonDaka20 may have just saved the Lineker lads’ European tour. What a performance. Thank you and well played, young man. 👏🏻👏🏻
