Man United star Michael Carrick and Saint's Adam Lallana show Remembrance Sunday support
MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Michael Carrick, Southampton star Adam Lallana and Cardiff's Steven Caulker will show their support for the Royal British Legion this weekend.
The trio will wear embroidered poppies on their PUMA football boots which will then be returned back to the legion who will auction them off for charity.
"As club captain, I'm aware of Southampton's military history," Lallana said.
"I feel very proud to wear the poppy on my boots and support the Royal British Legion.
"A lot of our fans are serving themselves or have family who are. With the support they give us all season on the pitch, it's important we take the opportunity to remember the serving members of the armed forces."
Michael Carrick said: "As players, we have the greatest admiration and respect for the men and women of the armed forces, both serving and veterans.
"Wearing the poppy on our boots is our way of showing our gratitude and respect, I'm proud to do so and support the Royal British Legion this weekend."
Steven Caulker said: "I'm proud to wear the poppy on my boots, and support the Royal British Legion who play an invaluable role in supporting serving members of the armed forces, veterans of all ages and their families."
