Foul-mouthed punk/hip-hop duo Sleaford Mods have branched out from troubling the charts with their vitriolic spittings and shelled out the sponsorship for a kids’ football team.

The band agreed to be the official sponsors of The Seven Sisters AFC U9s from South Wales after one of the squad's managers contacted them.

"He explained that mostly it was fast food chains and open cast mines that were normal sponsors," says Mods frontman Jason Williamson.

"He felt that was just too much as they had the monopoly on such areas and not in a good way.

"Myself and Steve our manager obliged. It's a positive thing."

The Mods, who have scored two top 20 albums with English Tapas and Key Markets, took to Twitter to make the announcement.
