Deadline Day reporter at Chelsea snaps at fan harassing him with giant banana

Transfer Deadline Day has lost a lot of its charm and excitement in recent years.

For several years, football fans tuned in to Sky Sports while Jim White and Natalie Sawyer took them through all the latest twists and turns Deadline Day had to offer. Of course, the ultra-tense and theatrical nature of it all led to some frankly absurd behaviour from some fans.

Who can forget journalists at the mercy of supporters? Blow-up sex dolls and a purple dildo were among the foreign objects used to unnerve reporters, all while they aimed to deliver the latest transfer gossip.
