Sean Kennedy, who is credited as "inventing" the popular 'Will Grigg's on Fire" chant, has been gifted free tickets all season, irking fans of Stevenage and Newcastle United.

A Wigan fan who adapted a song to pay tribute to striker Will Grigg has been handed a free season ticket by the club after his chant went viral.

Grigg finished as top scorer in League One with 25 goals, prompting Sean Kennedy to adapt Gala's 'Free From Desire' to the lyrics of "Will Grigg's on fire, your defence in terrified." Videos of the chant quickly circled on Twitter.
