Klaxons record footballers' tune?
Klaxons are reportedly planning to record a cover of 'Diamond Lights' by Glen Hoddle and Chris Waddle.

The two former Tottenham Hotspur footballers scored a number 12 hit with the record in the UK singles chart in 1987.

According to The Sun, Klaxons keyboard player James Righton is a "huge" fan of the North London football club and wants to pay tribute by recording the track.

The Mercury Music Prize-winner also confessed that his love for Tottenham probably cost him the chance of making it as a professional footballer at Leicester City, where he played as a youngster.

He commented: "I used to insist on wearing my Spurs kit. My dad told me I was probably annoying the club but I wouldn’t stop. They soon stopped playing me."
