Northampton Town’s DJ has been forced to apologise after playing Wham’s festive hit ‘Last Christmas’ at a recent match. 

Fans have fumed that by doing so, thousands will have lost the holiday game ‘Whamaggedon’ – where people try to avoid the song for as long as possible. 

Once the song is heard, that person is eliminated – hence the frustration of the 7,215 people at the Sixfields Stadium on December 2nd attending their clash with Portsmouth.

‘I gave it a spin, thinking it would be quite funny to wipe out 7,000 people who couldn’t avoid it, but clearly it isn’t funny.

‘I had a bit of an insult on Twitter, light-hearted, [saying] it was not a nice thing to do, and apparently that was quite tame to what was being said in the stadium.

‘So I officially apologise to everybody whose Christmas I’ve ruined.’

‘DJ Matty’ has since promised fans that he will not ruin the game for anyone else, especially those who attended their 3-0 win over Fleetwood Town on Saturday. 

He told BBC Radio Northampton: ‘I can take on the chin with my home fans and Portsmouth, but I don’t think I’ll be playing it again.

‘I think it’s a shame people in professions like mine can’t play Wham! until [late] December, but it’s a game and we all have to jump on board.’

Last Christmas reached number two on its release, finally reaching the top spot on 1 January 2021.

The game ‘Whamageddon’ started approximately 10 years ago and has continued to grow in popularity since then, namely through social media.

In the present day, the game has set rules, a dedicated website and merchandise.

The game’s rules state: ‘While we can’t stop you from deliberately sending your friends to Whamhalla, the intention is that this is a survival game. Not a Battle Royale.’

The song was played during Northampton's 3-0 defeat to Portsmouth at the start of the month
