Aston Villa: Steven Gerrard can handle the pressure and step into Jack Grealish's shoes

After spending three seasons pinning their hopes on Jack Grealish, Aston Villa have finally found the man to help them move on – and he will never even kick a ball for the club.

With the Duke of Cambridge, a huge Villa fan, watching from the stands, Grealish returned to Villa Park on Wednesday for the first time since he moved to Manchester City and became British football’s first £100million player.

Grealish was restricted to an 88th minute substitute appearance as this was the first game he was available for since taking a knock playing for England last month.
