"?Sky Sports? No. ESPN? No. Some so-called Twitter transfer 'ITK'? No. Who was the first to report the breaking news that Mohamed Diame was in fact joining Newcastle United?
Meet Mrs. O'Connor, who broke the news to exclusively to her son, who then proceeded to plaster it on the internet. Perhaps not the most exciting transfer story ever, but perhaps the greatest ever confirmation that us football fans have ever witnessed.
Out of the blue, 'Mam' as she is known, beat all forms of sports journalists to break the news that Mo Diame was moving to Newcastle subject of a medical, by texting her son a 'selfie' with the Senegalese midfielder in the hospital as he awaited his medical.

Well, that is certainly one way of breaking news and certainly one that has never been seen before.
A round of applause for this mother, firstly knowing who Mohamed Diame was, and enough to recognise him in public to then ask for a selfie with him too.
