Motorhead sponsor kiddie FC

Motorhead have become sponsors of Greenbank FC, a Lincoln under-tens team whose kit bears the band's logo and who run out to 'Ace Of Spades'.

Motorhead have become the sponsors of Greenbank FC, an under-tens football team from Lincoln. The kids now wear a black strip embossed with the band's name and logo, and run out onto the pitch to the strains of 'Ace Of Spades'.

It all came about because the team's manager Gary Weight used to be friends with band member Lemmy. Weight says: "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. They were totally up for it. 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 has come from. The hope is that we can go out on the football pitch and terrorise the opponents and come away worthy winners."
