The 'Bollington Junior Football Club' under nine team has top spicy curry names printed on the back of their jersey, after being sponsored by an Indian restaurant.

The manager, John Baistow, came up with the idea, to thank the 'Viceroy' in Bollington, Cheshire, for providing the snazzy yellow and blue kits to his squad, the Sun reported.

He also added that the kids think it's hilarious and the players have picked the names of their favourite curries for their shirts.
