Wigan fan wins season ticket after chant becomes internet sensation

Wigan fan Sean Kennedy has become an internet hit with a song dedicated to the club's top scorer Will Grigg.

The Latics, who won the FA Cup in 2013 under Roberto Martinez, gained promotion to the English Championship by winning the third tier this season, thanks mainly to Grigg's 25 goals.

That achievement led to Kennedy creating his own chant called "Will Grigg's on fire" to the tune of Gala's "Freed from Desire".

And it didn't end there as Kennedy was rewarded with a free season ticket from Wigan chairman David Sharpe, who sounded mighty impressed.

Well deserved, Sean.
