Striker Will Grigg had the afterburners fully lit during his time at the DW Stadium with Wigan Athletic.
During his time with the Tics, Grigg earned his ‘on fire’ accolade in a stint that saw him score 65 goals in 150 games for the Lancashire side.
That brought about a £4m January 2019 move to Sunderland. It is a move where it can be said that he hasn’t sparked let alone blazed.
Sunderland still looking for sparks; Grigg fire burns at Dons
His time on Wearside has seen Grigg struggling to recapture that Wigan form. Since signing on at The Stadium of Light, Grigg has scored just 8 goals in 61 games for the Black Cats.
He’s been on loan at the MK Dons this season and the fires are beginning to be lit again. Ahead of today’s game against Swindon Town, Grigg had scored four times; he’d doubled that tally by full time.
In a 5-0 rout that relegated Swindon, that four-goal haul was bound to foster a response from Dons fans.
They didn’t disappoint. Here is a selection of comments from MK Dons fans after Grigg’s four-star show as the Dons routed a battered and bruised Robins side.
Will Grigg’s on fire, your defence is terrified
