Aston Villa star Jack Grealish seems to have put his problems behind him this season.
Former Villa star Dion Dublin has shared how he made an effort to help Jack Grealish through some of his troubled times at the club, by interacting with the player through social media network Twitter, as quoted by the Daily Star.
The 21-year-old has committed numerous indiscretions away from the football pitch, which have led to internal disciplinary action, but he now seems to have refocused his mind on actually playing football, and he has made 19 appearances for Villa so far this term, scoring three goals.

And Dublin, who scored 59 goals in 190 appearances for the Villans, shared how he contacted the Villa youngster, in an effort to help him get back on the straight and narrow, as quoted by the Daily Star:
“With Jack, he’s had his misdemeanours and I’ve actually spoke to him on Twitter, on direct message. I said ‘get your head right’ and he came back and said ‘Dion, I’ve made a few mistakes and I’ve got to get back in the first-team and start doing well. I hope now he’s grown up a bit and he knows to keep himself out of the mess he got in. He’s got to start to say to himself: ‘I’m a lucky man, I’m playing for Aston Villa and it’s a huge football club. Don’t ruin the chance I’ve got.’”

Steve Bruce’s men currently sit in 12th position in the Championship table, seven points adrift of the play-off spots, and will need Grealish to be at his very best for the remainder if the season, if they are to have any chance of forcing their way inside the top six.
The 21-year-old midfielder is so talented, and has the ability to reach great heights within the game, if he remains fully committed to playing football.
And Villa fans will be hoping that Dublin’s intervention will help bring the best out in Grealish.
