Northern Ireland has an unofficial anthem for its first major tournament in 30 years: "Will Grigg's On Fire" by DJ Kenno.

The adaptation of the dance classic by Gala became a popular terrace chant at Grigg's club Wigan Athletic, but is now being heard on the British airwaves after reaching the top 10 of the iTunes UK music chart.

"Will Grigg's on fire, your defence is terrified," the version thought up by Latics' fan Sean Kennedy goes.

The Norn Iron supporters will be hoping the lyrics ring true in France, when their country takes on Germany, Ukraine, and Poland in Euro 2016's Group C.
