Being the annoying fan on Sky Sports' Transfer Deadline Day coverage: A How-To Guide

You too can be the gurning football fan on telly.

6. Bring the funny

We’re on the Mrs Brown’s Boys end of the comedy spectrum rather than say, Louis CK or The Office. Gurn behind the presenters back and you won’t go far wrong.

5. Get creative with signs

Get an adult to help you with the scissors but cornflakes boxes and toilet roll inserts make great placards. This chap paid homage to Sky’s Deadline Day Daddy, Jim White.

Well done, young man.

4. Don’t get too creepy

Like these two Norwich fans.

3. Do a little dance by some roadworks

2. Help the reporter do his job by throwing footballs at his head
