A clever Facebook campaign, 'Mayo 4 Sam Photobombers' has been encouraging fans from all around the globe to get clever with their photobombing efforts in a bid to build support for the Mayo team.

Fans have done their utmost to rally behind their county in the hopes of ending their 62-year wait to see Mayo lift the Sam Maguire..

Even if Mayo are unsuccessful on Sunday there are two things that playing in the All-Ireland final means for the county:

1) The Sam Bradley Care Fund has been

emphasised (also cleverly termed Mayo 4 Sam)

In addition to a medley of pictures on the site, team behind this popular Facebook page have released a cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Jump on It” – for both the Mayo team and also for a little boy named Sam Bradley.

Sam Bradley from Enniskillen was diagnosed with high-risk Neuroblastoma in January 2013 and the proceeds of this charity version by Emzee A ft SAMS girls (Lyrics by Keelan T & Emzee A) will go to Sam's cause.

Thanks to the lads behind this campaign 'Mayo 4 Sam' now has two meanings.

2) Mayo people have united in every corner of the globe

In their efforts to get behind the team Mayo fans across the globe photobomed like never before and also got some celebs in on the act.

Even the Hollywood A-Listers were photobombed

Fans incorporated supportive messages into their work environments through the powerful medium of photobombing. Check out this construction worker in Canada or staff at this Chinese restaurant in Ballina:
