Arsenal fan will run on pitch naked and throw shirt on Alexis Sanchez if he gets 30k retweets – gets 60k and counting

Alexis Sanchez against Spain today

The 2014 Brazil World Cup is the first to be covered from every conceivable angle by the phenomenon which is twitter. One Arsenal fan who works as a broadcaster for various media outlets has threatened to run on the pitch naked and throw an Arsenal shirt on reported Arsenal transfer target Alexis Sanchez if his “selfie” gets over 30,000 retweets.

Unfortunately for young Hugh, known for his youtube videos with KickTV amongst others, has accrued over 50,000 retweets in a staggering display of virality, even for a platform as rife with users as twitter.

According to a social media team member at Squawka HQ, his @hughwizzy account has gained 7,000 followers since he posted the aforementioned tweet which is simply astonishing

It is unclear whether or not the promise will be fulfilled but Mr Wizzy is definitely going to try his best, with a follow-up tweet but minutes ago suggested that he’s on the case.

Godspeed young man, godspeed.

UPDATE: The guy has tried and failed!

He's gone. HB. pic.twitter.com/LN7XQDsWwN
