This was always going to happen.

Despite not seeing the pitch for a single minute during Euro 2016, Will Grigg is probably the most famous player at the tournament.

The Northern Ireland team received a hero’s reception home in Belfast yesterday, but the biggest roar went for the return of Will Grigg.

Just look at the reaction below…
