Bradford Crown Court heard details of messages allegedly sent between Johnson and the 15-year-old Sunderland fan who 'idolised' him before they began chatting on social media.

The prosecutor read out some of their 834 WhatsApp messages - including an exchange on New Year's Eve in 2014.

The girl sent the footballer a friends request on Facebook on December 30th and they exchanged telephone numbers, the jury heard.

Adam Johnson (AJ): "Are you in the last year of school?"

Schoolgirl (SG): "Year 10...will you still send me a signed shirt"

AJ: "Yeh, I will send you one or sign yours. Whatever you prefer"

SG: "Both if you can"

AJ: "Yeh, I can do. Do you want me to sign yours at the game or meet up? Whatever you prefer"

SG: "I don't mind. Good luck with the city match”

When discussing New Year’s Eve plans on December 31 last year, the teenager told him she was going to a family party, the court heard.

AJ: "Where do you go out to?"

AJ: "I thought I would have got a thank you kiss for the shirt"

AJ: "I will get this thank you, it had better be worth it"

SG: "Ha ha it will be"

AJ: "Confident aren't you? Am I only getting a kiss?"
