Henderson helped Sheffield United to a 0-0 draw at Sheffield Wednesday on Monday.
The Sheffield United goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, has responded after a Sheffield Wednesday supporter accused him of ‘s******* himself’ in front of the Hillsborough Kop.
Henderson was the focus of many fans’ attention after being stationed in front of the home end during the second half of Monday’s Steel City Derby.
But despite the vitriolic nature of some of the chants aimed at him, the 21-year-old still turned to clap the Wednesday faithful after the full-time whistle.
Henderson then joined his Sheffield United colleagues at the opposite side of Hillsborough, where according to the same Owls supporter he was ‘giving it large’.
But the on-loan Manchester United player delivered a sarcastic response – before deleting his account altogether.
“I was terrified”, he wrote. “(P)lease stop calling me names it hurts my feelings”.
Henderson certainly looked unaffected, making important saves from Sheffield Wednesday’s Rolando Aarons and Sam Hutchinson, as the two sides played out a 0-0 draw.
Clashes between Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United fans were reported outside of the ground afterwards, resulting in six arrests (BBC News).
