'I'm still human, we all make mistakes': Jack Grealish opens up on his breach of lockdown to attend a party in Birmingham - and why he is desperate to keep Aston Villa up in memory of his manager Dean Smith's father Ron

Jack Grealish has spoken about his lockdown breach in March, admitting he is 'old enough and mature enough to know that I'd done wrong.'

The Aston Villa captain broke stringent coronavirus lockdown rules by attending a party at former team-mate Ross McCormack's flat, and also crashed his Range Rover car in a Birmingham suburb in the early hours of March 29.

The incident came a day after Grealish had urged his social media followers to stay inside to slow the spread of the virus, and was followed by an apology - but now the 24-year-old has spoken to The Guardian about what happened and his responsibility as a role model.
