The former Aston Villa star has some advice for the young talent.
Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish
Former Aston Villa striker Dwight Yorke has shared his views on the most recent Jack Grealish scandal to talkSPORT this morning (21/09/16).
The talented Aston Villa youngster looked to have finally put his party-boy reputation behind him with what has been a productive summer and start to the season for the 21-year-old.
It was reported by the Daily Mail this week that Grealish was involved in an unruly party at a Birmingham hotel at the weekend that went on until 7.45 am – following Villa’s draw with Ipswich Town.
It is not the first time that Grealish has found himself in such bother and grabbing such headlines.
One former Aston Villa player who had a reputation for liking a party or two when he was a player is former Trinidad and Tobago striker Yorke.

Speaking to the Alan Brazil Breakfast show today he had this to say on the latest Grealish ordeal:
“It’s very hard to say. We’ve all been there Alan, we know how it is.
“But in the modern day that we are, with the social media that is available, you just have to be so careful.
“He has been around long enough to know exactly how it all operates and how he should be doing and what he should be doing. He should be very careful but he continues to make these silly mistakes and it affects his football as well.”

Villa fans will be irritated by the latest reports, especially as they have had this before with Grealish.
That being said there is no proof of the actual extent to which he was involved in the party or to him being involved in anything untoward. At the moment, this remains just simple tabloid fodder.
If he can perform on the pitch, Aston Villa fans are not likely to care too much what he gets up to off of it.
