In this poignant image captured by Matthew Ashton/AMA during the Premier League match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal in the 2009-10 season, goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey pays tribute to the fallen heroes of the Armed Forces with a poppy affixed to his jersey. The poppy, a symbol of remembrance and honor, is a tradition in the United Kingdom during the commemoration of Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. The match, held at Molineux Stadium on November 7,2009, saw Hennessey and his teammates wearing poppies on their shirts as a mark of respect for the sacrifices made by the military personnel throughout history. The poppy tradition in football began in 1921 when British players wore poppies in memory of those who lost their lives during World War I. Hennessey, a Welsh international, joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2008 and made his debut for the team in the same season. He went on to make over 100 appearances for the club before moving to Crystal Palace in 2014. This image of Hennessey with a poppy in his kit not only highlights his respect for the military but also showcases the unity and camaraderie among footballers in acknowledging the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by the Armed Forces. The poppy tribute has become a significant part of football culture in the UK, and this image of Wayne Hennessey pays testament to the enduring tradition that continues to unite fans, players, and teams in honoring the fallen heroes.
