Ex-Leeds United striker apologises for gesture
Former Leeds United striker David Healy has apologised for his flute-playing gesture during a game against Celtic.
The Fulham forward pretended to play the instrument in an apparent mimic of an Orange band member during a friendly on Saturday.
He said: "I am supposed to be a role model and I can only apologise, I can guarantee from my point of view it will never happen again."
Fulham and the Irish Football Association (IFA) are looking into the incident.
Healy claimed his action was a response to stick he was receiving from some of the visiting fans at Fulham's Craven Cottage ground.
"It was one of those regrettable incidents that somebody said something and I made a silly gesture, which ultimately I regret," he added.
