Grigg's absence from the pitch hasn't stopped Northern Ireland fans rocking stadiums in Nice, Lyon and Paris with their take on Gala's dance hit "Freed From Desire." In a tournament that has sometimes been overshadowed by hooliganism, the chant has brought fans together. If anybody is getting tired of the chant after the opening stage of the tournament, it could be the Northern Ireland team itself, which surely has heard it more than anybody else. MARSEILLE, France (AP) " Will Grigg hasn't had any playing time yet at the European Championship, but a catchy chant featuring the Northern Ireland striker is lighting up the tournament. 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.
