Football Remembers Every year Premier League clubs come together to pay tribute to the Armed Forces community and support the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. Players across the country wear the poppy on their shirt as a sign of respect, and since 2012 Premier League clubs have raised over £4 million via shirt auctions. The money raised through your donations helps the Royal British Legion provide vital support to the Armed Forces community all year round. Donate to the Poppy Appeal today:
