A biography for Jack Grealishhasn’t been written yet.
“I think the main thing about football is confidence.”
“I think I've had a bit of a stop-start career. I came onto the scene quite early, and then I paused for a bit.”
“I wouldn't change what I do for the world - every single day, I'm lucky to be doing what I'm doing.”
“I started doing well at Villa when I was six or seven.”
“Obviously you've got to take some time to go out, but just not every weekend!”
“When you get on the pitch, you've got to take your chance, and that's what I'm trying to do.”
“Playing for Villa, especially in front of the Holte End, is unbelievable. I love walking out and just looking at the Holte End.”
“I'm enjoying it with Ireland, and I won't be pressured into playing for England.”
“I prefer advanced midfield, like a No. 10, but you know me: I'll play anywhere for Villa.”
“It's hard to deal with defeat.”
“I used to love jumping into the bushes in my back garden, thinking I was jumping into the crowd after I scored in front of the Holte End.”
“It is a lifelong dream to even play for Villa, but to get to a European final tops it all off.”
“I want to challenge myself. I'm desperate to play in the Premier League, and I want to play for England.”
“I'm a chilled-out player, if that's the best way to describe me.”
“I need to vary up my game, and I'm working on that. I know I need to get better.”
“I had my first trial at Villa at five.”
“All I want to do is get on the pitch and perform, and hopefully, that will do the talking.”
“I have to keep developing and progressing and strive to be as good a player as I can possibly be.”
“It's such a crazy league, the Championship. People used to say that to me, and when you are in the Premier League, you don't really take notice. It's a good league; it's tough, and I like it. But the Premier League is where I want to be, with Villa.”
“I have always wanted to play for Aston Villa, so I am not going to sit there and think, 'I could have been there,' or whatever. The grass isn't always greener.”
