A catchy chant featuring a little-known Northern Ireland striker is lighting up the European Championship. The 24-year-old is one of the hits of Euro 2016 thanks to the chant that has gone viral around grounds and on social media, even as he remained rooted to the bench while coach Michael O'Neill's mash-up of lower-league journeymen qualified for the round of 16. The chant originates at Grigg's club Wigan Athletic, where he earned fans' adoration by scoring 25 league goals last season to lead the team to promotion to England's second-tier Championship.
