The Poznań Celebration or Grecques is a form of sporting celebration mostly used by fans of Polish association football club, Lech Poznań and recently by fans of English club, Manchester City.

Usage
The Poznań Celebration involves the fans turning their backs to the pitch, joining arms and jumping up and down in unison&mdash;originated in 1961. In Poland (and to many fans across Europe), it is not called "The Poznan" it is known as a "Grecques" and is performed by many sets of fans. Lech Poznań supporters debate with other Polish and Eastern European fans as to who actually came up with it first. It has been copied by fans of Manchester City following the teams' meeting in the UEFA Europa League in October 2010. This has in turn been copied by other English football fans, notably such as that of Leicester City after their clash with Manchester City in the 3rd round of the F.A. Cup and is referred to by English football fans, and the British media, as "doing the Poznań". It has also been used to mock Manchester City as seen when Arsenal supporters did the Poznań celebration after Mikel Arteta scored for Arsenal against Manchester City and also by Manchester United supporters in a Manchester derby game during the 2011-12 FA Cup.

Alternatives
Scottish club, Celtic also do a version of The Poznań known as "The Huddle" the words sung by the fans are "Let's All Do The Huddle". It was reported Celtic's fans first did "The Huddle" in 1999 at Celtic Park, before Manchester City started doing the Poznań.
