Bundesliga supporters in bizarre petition to sign Will Grigg
Supporters of Bundesliga side Hamburg have started a petition to urge the club to sign Northern Ireland striker Will Grigg.
The Wigan striker has become an unlikely star at Euro 2016, despite not playing a single minute of his country's four games, thanks to the song 'Will Grigg's On Fire', adapted by a Latics fan from Gala's 1997 hit 'Freed From Desire'.
The petition has already attracted more than 6,500 signatures.
"After several proposals on social networks we start herewith a petition to direct the attention of HSV (Hamburg) to a transfer of the Northern Ireland international Will Grigg," the petition said.
The petition said Grigg had a market value of €1.5m (£1.23m) and would probably "bring in that much several times over in merchandising".
The 24-year-old scored 25 goals in Sky Bet League One last season.
Hamburg finished the season in 10th place in the Bundesliga.
