I remember the furore but am unsure of whether a fine was issued.England's national side were already fined for wearing the poppy weren't they?
However when FIFA were considering banning the poppy on shirts they received a call from Tommy Robinson and his band of racist thugs. The poppy has been hijacked by the far right in England to mean something quite different.
No other country is placing poppies or playing bugles before matches, and many others had greater casualties in numbers than those who represented UK forces.
