New Soccersixes Sunday 6-a-side football league team Sixes Madrid caused a stir after turning up at Lynnsport to play wearing a brand new pink kit!
Captain John Greenaway explained: "We decided to buy the new pink kit as we thought it will not clash in colours with other teams. Although it is a bit girly, it is bright so we can see each other easily. It is just a bit of fun!"
The pink kit must have been lucky as Madrid won their first game 3-0!
Local referee, Ken White, said, "When the team turned up, the game I was refereeing just stopped as both teams were staring at the lads wearing their pink kits!
"In fairness, the lads took it quite well and seemed to enjoy the banter.
