Why are Londoners turning to fake football shirts?
Available for over a year
Football fans facing rising prices for replica England shirts have been buying fake kits online instead. The England men's home shirt, launched in March, costs £85 for adults and £65 for children in the Football Association's official store. The FA told the Âé¶¹Éç that kit prices were set by manufacturer Nike. The company has not responded to requests to comment. Dan, from London, told Âé¶¹Éç Radio London this is "heinously overpriced" and says he has been buying fake shirts for his four children - which cost as little as £11 - for 10 years. Jim Davis has been speaking to him. (Image credit: Nike/The FA)
