Collector Les Motherby says classic England shirts are often better value than new ones.
Collector Les Motherby, who has spent over £40,000 on football shirts, believes the new England football kit is overpriced for families, citing high costs for children's kits.
Les Motherby, a collector with a KES 6.6M kit collection, warns that the new KES 20,000 England jersey is pricing out the working class, questioning if football is becoming a 'luxury-only' sport.
The new England World Cup shirt has been released, but prices continue to soar, making it almost unaffordable for fans.
