Burnley new boy Keith Treacy has become the latest football star to be caught in a Twitter storm.

The 22-year-old’s '@Treace11' account was hacked while he was on international duty with the Republic of Ireland.

His usual profile picture was replaced, apparently of a photo of him lying fully naked on a bed.

Within hours of the picture being posted it had been removed.

Treacy’s account, which had more than 3300 followers, has since been deleted.

Treacy joined Burnley in the summer from Preston North End having come through the ranks at Blackburn Rovers.

A Burnley FC spokesman refused to comment, saying it was a ‘personal’ matter.
