​Jamie Carragher sponsors Marine in their Tottenham FA Cup clash

Jamie Carragher has stepped in to sponsor Marine FC for their FA Cup tie with Tottenham on Sunday, reports SkySports.

The Sky Sports pundit, who has been a regular visitor to Marine over recent seasons, will sponsor the club's dugouts and pre-match warm-up tops through his charity, the JC23 Foundation, after a previous sponsor pulled out at short notice.

The JC23 Foundation helps over 1,000 good causes each year including sick, disabled and disadvantaged children as well as other community organisations.

Marine said they have lost around £100,000 in potential revenue after their third-round tie against Spurs was moved behind closed doors.
