I was a scout for Villa, I worked alongside Jim Thomas who spotted Jack, Jim sent me too watch Jack at Highgate Utd, he was about 6, i cud see then he was a level above other kids,

Crazy seeing him back at us in that beginning. Legend and a role model. He’s such an icon.

The way all his dreams/ goals came true so to speak! Amazing

I don’t go to St Peter’s but I’m mates with loads of those lads and it’s so great to see their reactions to meeting jack ❤

Lovely to see a family home town footballer playing for England so enthusiastic about Football and modest about his achievements xx

[Jimfun]

Goodluck Grealish on FIFA World Cup! I'm happy about how your parents supported since you were child, until you became one of the best players of England and Manchester City.

Takes me back to mid 00's when the St. Peters lot entered our school next door and pelted everyone with snowballs in the corridors
