Jack Grealish’s trajectory to the pinnacle of English football started back at Aston Villa, where he was seen as a superstar and chief-creator for the Midland club.

In a time where Aston Villa’s faithful were going through a rough time including consecutive relegation battles, average squad, club up for sale, lack of transfer funds, behind the scenes unrest, and uncertainty around manager young Grealish was the only shining-light that bring smiles to the face of the fans.
The England international who was born in Solihull, Birmingham, to a family who has strong Irish-heritage has been one of Pep’s best players this season in the Premier League.
