French soccer legend Eric Cantona has recorded a quite amazing tribute Green and White Army ahead of their match against Wales by performing an unusual rendition of unofficial Northern Ireland anthem 'Will Grigg's on fire'.

In a video produced by television station Eurosport the eccentric Frenchman declares himself to be 'The Commissioner of Football' as he pays tribute to both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland fans before launching into the now famous supporter anthem.

The former footballer who has made a name for himself in the world of acting since hanging up his boots but perhaps singing in his true calling!

Northern Ireland take on Wales at 5pm today in the last 16 of the competition at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
