A few days ago this photo emerged of a Sunderland fan appearing to make monkey gestures towards West Brom's Romelu Lukaku.

The fan was arrested but is now insisting that the whole thing was a big misunderstanding.
“People have got it all wrong. I wasn’t doing a monkey chant. I was doing a chicken dance. If I was racist, I wouldn’t pay to watch Sunderland because they have black players.”
From looking at the photo people can probably make up their own minds as to whether he is telling the truth.
