Never in the same room together: Haydon the Womble and AFC Wimbledon’s Twitter guy (Picture: PA)

Social media is growing all the time as a way to keep up to date with the transfer deadline day goings-on, just as long as there is plenty of news to report.

However, that didn’t stop whoever was manning the AFC Wimbledon Twitter feed from bringing us all the big stories – even when there were none.

From ‘a chap carrying a hawk’ to ‘a guy dressed like a player in a natty jumper’, deadline day was made all the more entertaining thanks to the League Two play-off chasers.

1. The quiet, unassuming beginning


We don't know if we will be signing anybody today, however we will keep our eyes peeled out the window and let you know if we see anything — AFC Wimbledon (@AFCWimbledon) January 31, 2014

2. The false alarm

Hmm this guy is dressed like a player in that natty jumper, but it's just a coach looking for phone reception pic.twitter.com/up4oq602Am — AFC Wimbledon (@AFCWimbledon) January 31, 2014
