The Aston Villa talent has been caught out partying yet again.
Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish scores their third goal
Ray Parlour has been speaking to Sky Sports News HQ today (22/09/16) about Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish and his latest headline grabbing antics off of the pitch.
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.
But it was reported by the Daily Mail this week that Grealish was involved in a 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 a situation and former Arsenal midfielder Parlour had some advice for the player.

He feels that it is not something the England under-21 player can get away with and that he needs to be more professional:
“Certainly he hasn’t learned his lesson. Obviously he’s done this before and that’s why it’s highlighted even more.
“The problem is now you’re in the spotlight. You are always in the public eye.
“He will have his old mates from school or from where he used to live but you’ve got to live a different life to them guys now.
“When I got into the team in the early 90s you could probably get away with that but now, you’ve got to be a professional footballer. It’s as simple as that.”
Grealish has been in good form on the pitch for Aston Villa this season but once again off-field antics have yet again caught up with him at this early stage.
Grealish found himself banned by manager Remi Garde last season after a similar incident and will need to start improving his behaviour if he does not want to feel the wrath of current Aston Villa boss Roberto Di Matteo.
