Today is not the day to be a random person on Twitter called Adam Johnson

Sunderland footballer Adam Johnson does not have an active Twitter account.

On Wednesday, the 28-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and one count of grooming. And @Adam__Johnson had an absolute nightmare as he was mistaken for the Adam Johnson. It wasn't the first time that the non-footballing Johnson had been mistaken for the winger and, last March, he very clearly pinned a Tweet to his page that sets things straight. https://twitter.com/Adam__Johnson/status/572447021224882176 And when the former Manchester City player pleaded guilty this week, the deluge of tweets directed to @Adam__Johnson got right back underway. https://twitter.com/Adam__Johnson/status/697390921864843267 https://twitter.com/Adam__Johnson/status/697409462064254980 https://twitter.com/Adam__Johnson/status/697402215150043136 Some didn't believe his claims. https://twitter.com/murphavfc/status/697396491514703873 https://twitter.com/Rick_avfc/status/697399639641866240 https://twitter.com/SlumdogMignolet/status/697403217026670592 https://twitter.com/wardiaz85/status/697404556448305152 Some sympathised with him. https://twitter.com/PoppyPowerz/status/697402150058598401 https://twitter.com/bayerncentral/status/697413388641685505 https://twitter.com/Warrs_/status/697404797146787841 https://twitter.com/Adam__Johnson/status/697407432327348224 And others had a bit of advice for the Tweeter. https://twitter.com/Muanasira/status/697403317870272512 https://twitter.com/Steptoesyard/status/697401098995429376 But, to be fair to him, he didn't seem too bogged down in the case of mistaken identity. https://twitter.com/Adam__Johnson/status/697414033209745408 @Adam__Johnson can now call himself a member of the bizarre club of Twitter users who have been mistaken for footballers.
