Joke: Fans on the House of Fun website claimed credit for the stunt A statement from them read: 'Members of Millwall website, House of Fun, clubbed together and raised enough to charter a light aircraft to fly over Wigan's ground today trailing a banner with the words, Avram Grant - Millwall Legend. We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.' The admission won praise from fellow Millwall supporters, many of whom were delighted to see their arch rivals join them back in English football's second tier. One fan wrote: 'Now this is a real classic! Brilliant timing and brilliantly funny! Very well done!' Another posted: 'A massive well done to everyone involved in making this happen!'
