Jack Grealish and Callum O'Hare are natural entertainers who grew up together at Aston Villa... While Man City's hero has reached the pinnacle, Coventry's man is hoping to show he's still got what it takes

They honed their skills playing Gaelic football, they are Solihull lads who grew up at local club Aston Villa and both are natural entertainers who can bring a crowd to its feet.

Jack Grealish and Callum O’Hare competed as youngsters in the GAA leagues in the Birmingham area before joining Villa as teenagers. The players remain in contact and share family connections.

Grealish’s career has rocketed since then to the degree he is now one of Britain’s most recognisable footballers but having turned 25 only in May, O’Hare still has time on his side.
