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 BBC that kit prices were set by manufacturer Nike. The company has not responded to requests to comment. Dan, from London, told BBC 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)
