Ace of Spades comes up trumps.


A boys football team have forged the most unlikely sponsorship deal - with rock legends Motorhead. The Greenbank under-10s B side from Lincoln have the band's name on their shirts along with their motif - a skull named Snaggletooth snag·gle·tooth  
n.
A tooth that is broken or not in alignment with the others.



[From snag + tooth.]


snag
.

The connection doesn't end there as the youngsters run out to the classic Ace of Spades.

Team manager Gary Weight said the deal came about as he used to know lead singer Lemmy.

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

Motorhead join the list of bands who have their names on the front of shirts.

They include Wet Wet Wet (Clydebank), Bad Manners (Margate), Super Furry fur·ry
