CRYSTAL PALACE goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey denied making a Nazi salute after a social media backlash.
The Welsh shot-stopper was posing at a dinner table for a photo that appeared on German team-mate Max Meyer’s Instagram.
Hennessey was sitting near the back of the table and held one hand in the air with the other above his mouth.
The picture was on Meyer’s Instagram stories and was later deleted but still did the rounds on Twitter.
Hennessey was slammed on social media for apparently making a Nazi salute.
But the Palace goalkeeper tweeted: “Yesterday evening I had a meal with my team mates and we had a group photograph.
“I waved and shouted at the person taking the picture to get on with it and at the same time put my hand over my mouth to make the sound carry.

“It’s been brought to my attention that frozen in a moment by the camera this looks like I am making a completely inappropriate type of salute.
“I can assure everyone I would never ever do that and any resemblance to that kind of gesture is absolutely coincidental.”
The Nazi salute is widely considered to be derogatory towards German people and a reference to their former dictator Adolf Hitler.
The Welsh stopper came under fire on Twitter, with one post describing it as “A sickening gesture made in a public place”.
Another post read: “Damn, Wayne Hennessey has absolutely no other discernable personality traits besides being a bad goalkeeper so this will really haunt him.”
Another tweet read: “It certainly looks like Wayne Hennessey doing a Hitler salute on Crystal Palace teammate Max Meyer’s Instagram photo.”
One more message said: “What an absolute b*****d, Wayne Hennessey have a word with yourself. Embarrassing!”
Midfielder Meyer, 23, moved to Crystal Palace from Schalke this summer and has over 260,000 followers on Instagram.
He has represented Germany four times, scoring one goal for his national side.
Hennessey, meanwhile, joined Crystal Palace in 2014 and has played over 100 league games for the south London side.
The 31-year-old has also represented Wales 81 times, including at Euro 2016 two years ago.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
