Sydney Swans legend Adam Goodes has deleted his Twitter account, just days after racist Facebook posts sparked outrage from the AFL community.

The 38-year-old's account, adamroy37, is no long available, leading some users to speculate that his self-exclusion from social media coincided with his latest run-in with racial abuse.

Goodes played 372 games for the Swans between 1995 and 2015, winning two Brownlow Medals and two grand finals - but it was an incident in 2013 involving a young Collingwood fan calling him an "ape" and the subsequent fallout from that incident that made headlines in the final stage of his career.
