To help commemorate this year’s period of Remembrance, The Royal British Legion has teamed up with the football club, and other Premier League teams, to produce a unique poppy pin for fans.

The Royal British Legion said: "The pin, which retails for just Â£2.99, not only acts as a symbol of remembrance for the brave men and women who have lost their lives or have been injured during conflict, but all profits from their sale go directly to The Royal British Legion and their important work providing care and support to all members of the British Armed Forces, past and present, and their families."

Armistice Day is on Saturday, November 11 and this year Remembrance Sunday falls on November 12.
