Well done, Jack, on remembering your promise to the young lad, whom you met at training.

Doing that celebration might not have meant much to you, nor taken much of your time, but it will mean the world to him that you kept your promise.

My admiration of you keeps on growing. You are a great ambassador for Manchester City.

I’m not going to lie. Before he signed for us I didn’t really have much of a good opinion about Jack. I used to think he was a typical young footballer. Flash, brash, and too much cash.
I could not have been more wrong.
Having now had chance to see him interviewed etc he is clearly a thoroughly decent, well brought up, and kind young man. A man who hasn’t forgotten where he came from. Just a decent person. A really really decent person.

I’m not ashamed to admit he’s making me revaluate the way I have judged other people that I didn’t really know.

I’d be so so happy if he stays with us for years and achieves all his ambitions in a City shirt, I really would, but if not and he ends up pursuing his career elsewhere one day I’ll still be delighted for him and wish him all the best.

He is a young man any man would be proud to call his son.

perfect words mate. City should be proud of him. He is a fantastic role model.

Agree with the sentiment here. On your second paragraph, I think the great thing about Grealish is that it clearly does mean a lot to him. He was incredibly well regarded at Villa for doing similar too.

Maybe I could have phrased it better, as I know that his sister has learning difficulties, so it obviously means a lot to him.

It was a small gesture on Jack’s part, but a very big one for it’s intended recipient.

No I think your sentiment was absolutely spot on. Just wanted to point out with him, part of the reason it is so powerful is that it’s genuine.

There’s been a few players we’ve had over the last few years that I’ve been really invested in hoping they’re successful, mainly due to the vilification and false narratives they’ve had set against them by opposition fans or some in the media. Sterling the first few years after he joined, Stones and now Grealish.

This is what I mean, he gets it the same as you did -

Class, well done Jack, nice to see a top footballer than can stay grounded.
 
So often we observe footballers living a lavish lifestyle with not the slightest care for those less well off.

Somehow, miraculously, Jack has retained his humility, kindness, compassion and generosity of spirit.

He’s the most wonderful role model for all of us when we encounter someone in life less well off.

I personally want Jack to remain at City for his entire career. He’s a special footballer, but more importantly he’s a special person.

Good on you Jack!
 
It was superb by Jack, to remember his promise on the World stage is extra special for Finlay.

Some footballers are brilliant with kids. I took my mate and her son down to the Etihad one friday when the lads used to train in the stadium. Afterwards they would walk to their cars, some would come over and sign autographs, have piccies etc. Frank Lampard was superb, Yaya Zabba and Sergio also took time out with the fans, Nasri just walked past and ignored the kids.

It doesn't take much to make a kid happy, my mates sons face when he had a piccy with Frank was priceless. My mates face even though she was in her 40s was priceless when she had a piccy with Yaya.

Its great we have good characters at the club, they make a difference for us, the people who matter.
