You all know the Will Grigg chant by now.

What started in League One with Wigan has become a worldwide movement and has spread through stadiums at Euro 2016 like, er, wildfire. We've had England fans nick it and now everyone from your mum to German international Mats Hummels knows the name...and the chant. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/744970902622736384 But we have found someone who hasn't heard of the Northern Irishman and didn't know that he was on fire...until now. And boy does she know about it. The poor American has been getting scores of messages on Facebook about the Northern Irish cult hero who, despite being on fire, hasn't played a minute for his country at the Euros. It's all because she has a rather unfortunate name... WillGrigg Her exasperated Facebook post about why the hell loads of wacky blokes were telling her 'Will Grigg's on fire' went viral with thousands of shares. It sounds like she knows the song now...
