Football’s Remembrance Sunday

‘In Flanders fields the poppies blow. Between the crosses, row on row…’
91 years ago today, World War 1 hostilities ended. To commemorate the anniversary, most Premier League clubs will be sporting fresh kits this weekend emblazoned with the poppy emblem. Only three out of the twenty clubs in the league are refusing to conform to public sentiment: Manchester United, Liverpool and Bolton. Apparently United and Liverpool claim a red poppy won’t be visible against the red background of their shirts. (So what’s Bolton’s silly excuse then?)
We got a poppy to stand-out on the Man Utd shirt no problem
