The story goes that back in early 2012, Prodigy mainman Liam Howlett caught wind of the fact that Eastleigh Reds’ coach Chris Chapman pepped his young charges up before games by cranking up Prodigy track ‘Warrior’s Dance’ in their dressing room before games.

After being tipped off by a music journalist whose son played for the team, Howlett decided to buy Eastleigh Reds a new kit for the 2012/13 Hants Junior League season, which saw the young’ns turning out in an aquamarine strip (surely red would’ve been the logical choice?) with the band’s ant logo emblazoned across the front…
