James McClean, originally from Derry, Northern Ireland, has refused to take part in Remembrance commemorations ever since he moved to England to play for Sunderland in 2011.
Wrexham FC player James McClean stood away from his teammates as they observed a minute's silence ahead of Remembrance Sunday. The 35-year-old, originally from Derry, Northern Ireland, has refused to take part in Remembrance commemorations ever since he moved to England to play for Sunderland in 2011. It is a tradition for footballers to wear shirts or armbands emblazoned with Remembrance poppies for games throughout Remembrance weekend.
Fined by ex-club for balaclava tweet In 2020, he was fined by his former club Stoke City after he posted a picture of himself wearing a balaclava alongside two children, who he claimed he was giving a 'history lesson'. The post, which he later deleted, was captioned: 'Today's School lesson - History.' He was fined two weeks' wages by the club, which condemned the picture as 'inappropriate'.
