More than a quarter of UK police forces are probing allegations of historical child sex abuse in football.
Avon and Somerset, Essex and Norfolk Police are the latest to confirm they are investigating claims, bringing the current tally to 14.
North Yorkshire, Dorset, Staffordshire, Greater Manchester, North Wales, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Cheshire, Northumbria, Scotland Yard and Police Scotland have also launched inquiries.
So far police have received 250 reports and more than 50 calls were made to an NSPCC hotline set up for sexual abuse victims in football in the initial hours of opening.
A spokeswoman for Avon and Somerset Police said following "recent extensive media coverage about allegations of non-recent sexual abuse in football'' they have received calls from members of the public who have provided information.
