A BBC Sport investigation has traced official replica shirts for Arsenal, Liverpool, Celtic and Real Madrid to two Cambodian factories where workers earn a basic wage below £1 an hour.

Adidas, which uses both factories as suppliers, says it audits them very closely and that wages exceed local benchmarks.
