Thinking about it though, how much of a hoax was it ?
Perhaps the person behind the account wasn't a footballer after all. It may have been some kind of social experiment to gauge responses from public and media alike.

Always thought it was an elaborate wind up. It wouldn't happen this way.
Steven Davies, the Worcs and England cricketer simply came out in a paper interview. No fanfare. It was well known, and not an issue, before then. This account says it only came out to family recently. There is no way...
Good way of doing it. Steals the thunder of the press and stops some shit on Twitter telling the world if he is seen out with a partner.
(Just to pre-empt the usual comments about him not needing to do this).
Edit: Assuming that it is all for real.
