Another adjective that seems to come up a lot when describing Grealish is ‘kind’. It comes up again and again, with people citing how he treats fans – especially children – as particularly appealing. “As a Wolves fan he used to annoy me immensely,” says Sarah, 42, from Wolverhampton. “Largely because of his talent. But I fell in love with him at the World Cup when he did the celebration dance for the young Man City fan with cerebral palsy, Finlay. It just showed his kindness as a person… Now I’m a big fan, I love his game, the joy he exudes and I’ve even become fond of his hair.”
