BEAUTIFUL: Manchester City’s Jack Grealish receives a Peaky Blinders gift from a young fan

Jack Grealish and Kevin de Bruyne

Jack Grealish recently invited super-fan Abbie Pinder to take in Manchester City’s hammering of Newcastle from his private box before meeting the 14-year-old and her family.

The Manchester City playmaker left Abbie Pinder in tears of joy when he handed her a signed shirt back in February. In return, he accepted a Peaky Blinders gift from the fan.

The 14-year-old earlier met Grealish ahead of City’s FA Cup clash with Fulham in February. At that match, the England international handed Pinder a signed shirt and hugged her as he entered the Etihad Stadium.

Following that meeting, the Pinder family revealed that Grealish had invited her back to another match as his personal guest. It appears that game came on Sunday when City hosted Newcastle in the Premier League. The Pinder family saw the match from Grealish’s private box, with the winger coming up to meet them afterward. And after meeting her hero, the 14-year-old decided to give Grealish a card and a gift.

It is unclear exactly what the present was but clearly was inspired by his beloved TV show, Peaky Blinders, featuring Tommy Shelby and Co. The England ace looked genuinely shocked and delighted as he exclaimed: “Aww. Let’s open it…“

“Peaky Blinders! “How do you know I like Peaky Blinders?” Oh come here, thank you, thank you so much,” Grealish added.

Jack then posed for photos with Pinder, who wrote on TikTok: “A moment I’ll never forget meeting my idol.

Jack Grealish in the 2021-22 season for Manchester City

After becoming Manchester City’s most expensive transfer last season, Jack Grealish was expected to turn the Citizens’ fortune upside down in the 2021-22 season. However, to everyone’s surprise, the winger hasn’t been able to start in most of the matches and is just another bencher in Manchester City.

In his 37 appearances for the club this season, Grealish has scored just five goals and provided merely four assists. This is nothing as compared to last year when while playing for Aston Villa, he netted the ball on seven occasions and provided 12 assists in his 26 appearances in the Premier League alone.
