James McClean Stands Apart on Remembrance Sunday

The Wrexham player continues his protest by not wearing a poppy, citing historical grievances.

James McClean, captain of Wrexham FC, refused to wear a poppy and stood separately during the Remembrance Sunday minute's silence.
McClean has consistently declined to wear the poppy since 2012, due to its association with British military actions in Ireland.
He has faced significant backlash from fans but maintains his stance, stating he would wear the poppy if it only honored World War casualties.
The controversy is compounded by McClean's past actions, including encouraging anti-Royal Family chants and a controversial social media post.
Wrexham defeated Mansfield 1-0 in the match, with Ryan Barnett scoring the decisive goal.
