It's a tale as old as time - take one 16-year-old video game, a rising indie-folk band and a League One football team and what do you get?

A new football anthem for Wycombe Wanderers, courtesy of the unlikely figures of Irish chart-toppers Kingfishr, whose singer was the special guest under the Tuesday night lights of the club's Adams Park stadium this week.

It's a strange musical connection that all came about in a way avidfans of sports video games can understand- via Fifa 11, a game the band said they started playing while recording their second album.

The band adopted Wycombe Wanderers as their team in the game and eventually posted a song for the club, which has racked up more than190,000 views on TikTok.

The club caught wind of the song, written in an Irish folk style and with a lyrical focus on "the Wycombe wanderer, wandering away", and replied to the original post by saying: "You can wander our way anytime."

So it came that lead singer Eddie Keogh took up the offer on Tuesday night, as first reported byIrish sports site Balls.ie, and attended the club's 4-1EFL Trophy victory against Bristol Rovers.

The song was even playing over the tannoy as he arrived, to the singer's shock as demonstratedby his "what is going on?" post to TikTok.

The club invited him onto the pitch where he was presented his own club shirt with 'Kingfishr 1' on the back.

In statement to BBC News NI, a Wycombe Wanderers spokesperson said discovering the song was "brilliant".

"As fate would have it – Eddie from the band was able to join us that evening to visit the stadium, watch a game, meet the players and learn a little more about the club he's adopted as his own.

"A lot of our players are massive fans of the band, and the song from the TikTok has gone down extremely well with supporters, so we hope it might become a terrace anthem."

The club spokesperson added that Kingfishr "are welcome back to Adams Park at any time".

It's not the first sporting connection for the band, who first broke big in Ireland due to their viral track Killeagh, a song that has topped Irish charts on three separate occasions.

The track details a community's attachment to their local Gaelic games club.

The band alsoplayed in Londonderry earlier this yearwhere they were presented with local clubs shirts.
