Question: What is the world’s oldest football club to do when it is toiling in obscurity in the Northern Counties East League in England?

Answer: Crank up the amps, fire up the hairspray and recruit one of the world’s oldest butt rock band to become a member of the club.

The 150-year-old Sheffield FC, officially recognized by FIFA and the FA as being the oldest football club in the world, has added Def Leppard to its growing list of celebrity members.

The 80s band, whose music remains timeless in any karaoke bar in this world, was presented with team shirts and other fun stuff by the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Coun Jackie Drayton. Lord Mayor is a pretty cool title for a job position. Henceforth I would like to be known as Lord Mayor of The Offside.

Club chairman Richard Tims said: “It was great to talk to the guys. They have been through what we are going through right now – trying to establish ourselves at home and worldwide.”

Look for Sheffield FC to release music videos featuring scantily clad women being doused with water very soon.
