Motorhead Sponsor Under-10s Football Team

Motorhead are to sponsor an Under 10s football team after the team’s manager emailed the band suggesting the idea.

The Greenbank under-10s B team from Lincolnshire will now run out to Motorhead’s legendary anthem ‘Ace Of Spades’ and sport the bands name and Snaggletooth skull logo on their shirts.

Speaking to the BBC team manager Gary Weight revealed: "It was from a bizarre idea one evening. I sent an email off to them and they came back and said it was a great idea.”

"I knew Lemmy years ago and for him, I think the thought of a football team running out with the Motorhead logo made him chuckle a bit, so that's where it's come from."

He added: "The hope is that we can go out on the football pitch and terrorise the opponents and come away worthy winners."

Apparently the team are also fans of Kaiser Chiefs and Coldplay, surely a diet of solely metal is now on the cards for the rest of the season!
