LABOUR MP Clive Efford told the Football Association yesterday to ignore Fifa and wear the poppy next week in the World Cup qualifier against Scotland.

The wearing of the poppy is seen as a “political, religious or commercial message” by Fifa, though England was allowed to have them printed on black armbands during a match against Spain in 2011.

However, football’s world governing body has once again decided to prevent England and Scotland from wearing them on Friday as well as Wales 24 hours later.
