Fifa Drop Poppy Ban

FIFA have dropped their ban and now on Saturday's friendly against Spain, English footballers can wear a Poppy on their black armbands.

This comes after previous outcry over the ban, which coincides with the rule that bans symbols on shirts, being deemed as 'ridiculous' and 'disgraceful'.

All 90,000 tickets have been sold for the home-match and if the ban had not been lifted and the Poppy's worn, the referee could have refused to begin the match.
