Global magazine praises ‘sweet pesky’ Jack Grealish: seven ways the Manchester City star makes football fun

A global magazine has heaped praise on former Aston Villa skipper and current Manchester City footballer Jack Grealish.

The Solihull native was described as a “sweet pesky small-shinpadded imp” by the global magazine, which said he made Manchester City’s treble win “possible to like”.

The GQ magazine UK added that Grealish makes football fun because he “defies this current moment of football puritanism” and comes across as more “human”.

Grealish, 27, was purchased for £100m by Manchester City and after struggling in his first season at Manchester City, he had an important role in the team winning the Champions League, Premier League and the FA Cup.

He thanked the team’s manager, Pep Guardiola, for the biggest night of his career right after the win and even shed some tears. But, what came after was hours and hours of partying and celebration for the win.

People took to Twitter to share why they love him so much as he regaled in his joy of being part of the team that won the treble in 2023.
