Former Smiths' frontman Morrissey has donated £20,000 to the club featured on A Smiths cover.
Salford Club in Manchester is building even featured on the cover to their 1986 album 'The Queen Is Dead'.The club is undergoing a £1 million restoration.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Club secretary Brian Ball said "Morrissey and The Smiths made a big difference to Salford Lads' Club by having their picture taken outside in 1986. They were never members of the club and didn't even come from Salford, so it's a marvellous gesture by Morrissey to give support to the future of our club."
The club has 200 members but Morrissey has never been a member of the club.
Salford Lads and Girls Club was built in 1903.
The club is also selling limited edition t-shirts with the insignia 'Big Mouth Strikes Again', another Smiths' reference, at its official website http://www.salfordladsclub.org.uk
