Speculation about identity of player was was allegedly involved with Imogen Thomas is rife on Twitter

This isn't a long post, just a graph really. I can't name the footballer who allegedly had an affair with model Imogen Thomas. But I can publish this graph. It gives you an idea of the spike in Twitter mentions of said footballer's surname on the social media site in the late afternoon after it emerged that his legal team had launched an action against Twitter to try and restrain mentions of his name online. You can decide if it worked.
