Sales of a Smiths band T-shirt to raise funds for the famous Salford Lads Club could stall after an endorsement from David Cameron, organisers said yesterday.

The Tory PM declared: “You have made my day!” as he was handed one of the shirts by a journalist during a visit to Manchester on Thursday.

But a spokesman for Salford Lads Club suggested the T-shirt could become damaged goods after being modelled by Mr Cameron.

“We didn’t know anything about it and we aren’t putting it on our website,” Leslie Holmes told the Star.

“All sorts of people get hold of these T-shirts, so if David Cameron’s got one we can’t do anything about that.”

And in a tongue-in-cheek comment, he added: “We don’t want the January sales to end this soon.”

Legendary Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, who once “banned” the PM from listening to their music, has yet to comment on the photo.

The club is based in an area where more than half of children live in poverty and has been a mecca for music fans after The Smiths posed there for a now famous photo in 1985.

Snapper Stephen White gave his blessing for his photo to be used on a special edition T-shirt to raise funds to take six children on a trip to the US.

Mr Holmes described yesterday’s T-shirt stunt was “all good fun” and said that everyone was welcome at the club — even Mr Cameron.

Music fans were not so forgiving though, swamping social media with angry responses.

In a twist on famous Smiths song titles, Terry Ashby said the PM could form a cover band called This Harming Man and sing “Panic (Economically), Fox Meat isn’t Murder and NHS in a Coma.”
