A group of Donegal men thought they would put a bit spice into transfer deadline day by pranking Exeter City that Buncrana Hearts Kieran Mc Daid would be moving to the English League side.
The Exeter fans started to get excited as the spread the word via twitter. Later that day the news was broke on the Sky Sports News Transfer Centre.
