The former Celebrity Big Brother contestent says the Poppies' backing for Palestinian charity Interpal means he will take a keen interest in the Northamptonshire club.

Poppies wore shirts promoting the charity during their third-round win over Eastwood Town on Saturday.

Galloway said: "It has struck me this year just how widespread support for the Palestinian cause has become, compared with three decades ago when you could put all the supporters of the Palestinian cause in a goal mouth and still have room for Stuart Pearce to score.

"The sponsorship of Kettering Town by the Palestinian charity Interpal is testimony to that. I hope it will be the beginning of a fruitful relationship between the club and the charity.

"One thing is for sure – Manchester United had better watch out, with Interpal on the away kit the global marketing arm of Kettering FC is going to take some beating!

"I've raised this sponsorship deal on my Talksport show and rest assured I will be taking a keen interest in the fortunes of Kettering Town from now on."

Poppies take on Fulham on the weekend of January 24/25.
