A Geordie man has just been on Talksport.
Jack had met him and his disabled daughter at an event.
He subsequently invited them both to the Etihad, in his private box, spent time with them after the game, introduced them to players and paid for a hotel for them both.
He was gushing in praise for Jack the lad, and to be fair so was the presenter.
So fair play to him, and Talksport for that.
Talksport don't deserve any praise whatsoever especially when it comes to Grealish, they're arguably worse than the tabloids when it comes to moaning about every little thing he does
 
What goes on in Vegas, stays in Vagas.... Unless you're the latest tabloid target.

I haven't got a problem with Jack, and I'm pretty sure he knows he's got a target on his back. I hope he comes back next week and buckles down and has a great season, otherwise he's going to get slaughtered by the press.

What did you think when you heard the call, and the presenters reaction. ???
 
Jack's always had a heart of gold, right back from his earliest days as a player.

A lot of the stuff he does for individuals doesn't make the news - he doesn't publicise it so it's only in the papers if the family wants it to be. But in a local community, people talk about their experiences, and over his years at Villa it became hard to speak to any local who hadn't heard dozens of the same sorts of stories.

Most footballers do charity stuff, and it doesn't get as much publicity as it should. But Jack's a player who goes above and beyond.

Most players will, if asked, turn up at your sick kid's bedside, chat with the family, have a hug and a picture. Some of them will stay longer than they're supposed to and end up playing video games or whatever with the kid. And all that is really important and lovely and makes a real difference to suffering families.

But Jack...he won't just do that stuff. He'll also call you up a week later to check how the kid and the family are doing, to offer whatever help you need, to request an address so he can send signed shirts and other merch, to offer to host the family at the stadium when the kid's well enough, to ask when can he visit again.

And he sends the stuff, and turns up again, usually with some of his relatives, and he becomes your family's friend and keeps in touch and he's your contact at the club who will sort you out with whatever you need for a match day (or even just whatever you need generally...he'll donate thousands to your crowdfunder, he'll introduce your other kid to THEIR favourite footballer...one of the stories that made the papers a few years back was a guy he'd met as a sick kid messaged him asking for help finding where he could buy a new PlayStation as they were sold out everywhere he looked, then Jack turned up on his doorstep a few days later having bought the console for him).

And then years later when your kid's recovered from their illness, Jack's still dropping the family messages from time to time, interacting with the kid on social media, always available if you ever need him...

He likes a drink. Loves a party. Fond of the women. Probably should restrain himself a little on all three as they're the things that tend to get him into trouble - and he has had troubles, and done stupid things.

But the good outweighs the bad by a considerable distance.
 
So do you repeating that ad nauseam, i like professional acting players , sue me

There is nothing unprofessional in the slightest about getting shitfaced whilst on holiday.

If he’s doing it on the night before a game then he deserves calling out, but what he does in his spare time out of work is fuck all to do with anyone.
 
The problem is we’ve been fed 20 years of boring cunts like Scholes, Owen, shearer, beckham etc and hence the tabloids are haves field day.
 
He's on holiday ffs, should be able to have a good time.
Less said about his dress sense though the better
