Sheffield United are on the verge of the Premiership
|
Sheffield United fans have been warned to beware of buying fake football merchandise in the run-up to the play-off final.
The Blades face Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Bank Holiday Monday with a place in next season's Premiership at stake for the winners.
Trading Standards officers are targeting rogue traders in Sheffield city centre after receiving several complaints about unofficial football goods.
In one case a woman purchased what she believed to be an official Sheffield United replica shirt for her grandson only to later discover an obscene picture on the front of it.
Peter Hughes from Trading Standards said shoppers should be wary of items sold with offensive or obscene logos.
"The people who are licensed to manufacture the products are the only ones allowed to legitimately sell them," he said.
