"We thought it would be funny but also, I thought of it as one of those jokes where it’s funny but would never happen.

"But Jaime has a great talent for writing and is one for great whit.

"So, he crafted a letter than he and I did some edits, took a screen shot and sent it to RedTube’s Twitter.

"Here is where we met Emma, who runs their social media account and as soon as it went up, we got over 50 likes and are still getting more.

"She DM’d us and I spoke with here about what would be in the details of the agreement.

"It’s actually pretty legendary because no one else has this from the top teams all the way down to amateurs.

"It’s a bit odd to have it and some people think it’s controversial but let’s be real here, it’s a men’s league club and we have done something that is unique."

Washing Square FC are not the first club to be sponsored by a Porn site.

A university side called Rutherford Raiders used to be sponsored by X-rated site PornHub.

But Kent University banned the sponsorship after labelling it 'totally inappropriate."
