It’s been more than 300 episodes since we last talked about the brilliant Jack Grealish, and wow, a lot has happened since then. In this episode, we catch up on all things Grealish, from his history-making treble-winning season with Manchester City to his headline-grabbing move to Everton in 2025. We’ll relive the highs of that incredible 2022–23 campaign, when Jack helped City win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, becoming a true Manchester City hero. We’ll talk about that goal at the Emirates that helped topple Arsenal in the title race, his emotional post-final interviews, and those now-legendary celebrations (yes, we’re talking high-vis jackets, Oasis singalongs, and possibly the best hangover in football history!). Then it’s on to 2024–25, when injuries and competition for places saw Grealish’s game time drop — but also when he reminded everyone of his quality with key goals and classy performances. And finally, we dive into his blockbuster loan move to Everton, his instant impact in the Toffees’ attack, and how he’s already topping the Premier League assists chart. This is an episode packed with football drama, inspiration, and a good laugh along the way. Whether you’re a Manchester City fan, an Evertonian, or just someone who loves the beautiful game, you won’t want to miss this one. 🎧 Listen now and join me as we follow Jack Grealish’s journey from Manchester to Merseyside — and find out why he’s still one of the most loved players in British football.

0:41.3	He's a player who is loved by almost everyone in football,
