Victor Anichebe unintentionally wins Twitter as Sunderland forward falls foul of copy and paste

Footballers are busy people, even the not very good ones.

And by now it has become accepted knowledge that they are so busy that they can't be expected to run their own social media accounts. Because of, you know, all the stuff they've got to do.

And this can quite often lead to hilarious mistakes.

Who can forget the classic when 'Christian Benteke' announced to the world that he'd signed for Burnley instead of Crystal Palace in August?

And then there was that time when 'Ilkay Gundogan' tweeted as 'Mesut Ozil' .

And we've got a new addition to the list. Step forward Victor Anichebe.

The burly forward was an unused substitute as Sunderland lost to a last gasp Winston Reid goal at West Ham on Saturday, but with the Mackems clearly wanting their fans not to lose faith, Big Vic was asked to tweet a stirring message on Sunday.

And so he did, word for word.

EVERY word.

Come on Vic, we all like a good copy and paste from time to time, but that's just ridiculous.
