Ananova:

An under-10 football team has landed a sponsorship deal with heavy metal band Motorhead.

The Greenbank B team from Lincoln have the band's name on their shirts along with the band's motif - a skull named Snaggletooth.

The North Hykeham team also run out onto the pitch to music from the band.

Team manager Gary Weight says he managed to secure the deal as he used to know lead singer Lemmy.

He told the BBC: "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 is hoping the deal will improve the team's performance.

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