Modern Slavery and Football

This morning MSN features a chilling article about young African footballers coming to Europe in the hope of a professional career. Thousands end up in slavery, victims of unscrupulous trafficking gangs.

Al Bangura at Watford was one player who was a victim of trafficking as a youngster.

The author of the report is a PhD student. Although the research is still a work in progress and it is not backed by any official body I am not surprised by the news.

In some ways it's similar to the sex abuse cases involving Crewe/Chelsea etc. Individuals/group of individuals exploiting young, impressionable and ambitious young men/children for personal gain. Happens outside of Football too, with actors etc.
