'Hennessey didn't know what Nazil salute was' - FA explain clearing Crystal Palace goalkeeper

The goalkeeper was advised to learn the history of fascism and Nazism after avoiding punishment for his controversial pose in a photograph

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was deemed to have a "lamentable" degree of ignorance about Adolf Hitler and fascism by the panel that cleared him of a Football Association (FA) charge for an alleged Nazi salute.

Wales international Hennessey was charged by the FA after a photograph showing him with his right arm raised and left hand placed over his mouth was posted to Instagram by his Palace team-mate Max Meyer in January.
