England to wear poppies on boots

England stars will reportedly wear poppies on their boots when they face Spain at Wembley on Saturday.

Players such as Ashley Cole, Gabriel Agbonlahor and Theo Walcott will wear the specially-made footwear as a tribute to the armed forces, according to The Sun.

England had previously told by the FIFA that the wearing of poppies on their shirts for the game was prohibited as it breached rules on displaying "political, religious, or commercial" symbols.

Appeals from the FA, Prime Minister David Cameron and Prince William eventually led FIFA to allow England to wear poppies on their black armbands.

The customised boots with sewn-on poppies will reportedly be provided by Nike.
