About Will Grigg
William Donald Grigg (born 3 July 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two club Chesterfield.
He represents Northern Ireland at international level. Grigg began his professional career at Walsall and came to prominence during the 2012–13 season, winning the club's Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Season awards
In May 2016, Wigan Athletic supporter Sean Kennedy uploaded a video to YouTube titled "Will Grigg's on fire", which featured a song written in recognition of the recent goal-scoring feats of Grigg with the chorus to "Will Grigg's on fire, your defence is terrified" sung to the tune of "Freed from Desire" by Italian singer Gala. Since it was uploaded, the song has become a very popular football chant and a national sensation. Kennedy received a free Wigan season ticket from the Wigan chairman David Sharpe for the 2016–17 season as a result of success of the chant.
On 31 May 2016, Electro duo Blonde released a version of the song and entered the Charts and the iTunes top 10 songs.
