Jack Grealish reveals embarrassing moment he had to tell girlfriend Sasha Attwood what their cockapoo did at training

JACK GREALISH revealed how his pet cockapoo lived up to its name – by doing its business on one of Manchester City’s training pitches.

The England ace was bought the pooch as a birthday present from his girlfriend Sasha.

They often take Skye for walks around the vast City Football Academy as there are few green spaces around their town centre apartment.

And Grealish revealed: “One time I brought her on this pitch – and we’d trained on it in the day and she’d done the biggest s*** – just in the middle of the pitch.

“And I said to Sash – we’ve just trained on that today – and she’s just done a big s*** in the middle of it.

“Because we live in the city centre there are not many parks for her and me to just walk around. So here is perfect just to come and chill.”

Grealish told the Together: Treble Winners documentary: “I love my dog more than anything.

“It’s nice when you come back after a game and the dogs are just so happy to see you. She doesn’t have a clue who I am – she just loves me.”

Grealish is a hero amongst City supporters but on any away day he is jeered by opposition fans.

The midfielder has now spoken out about his failure to win over the hearts of City’s rivals – and says it bothers his mum.

Grealish, 28, moved to City in 2021 for £100million, making him the most expensive British player at the time.

The Birmingham-born star has endured a tough season after a horrific run of injuries the last few months.

City fans were over the moon to see him return to the pitch this weekend for the 0-0 title clash against Arsenal.

He said: “I always think about it. I always wonder, ‘why do they boo me?’ – and my mum always asks me about it as well.

“But I don’t actually know why it happens. At every single away ground I go to now, I get booed and I’m not entirely sure why it is – I just have to try and take it as a positive or a compliment.”

And Grealish’s best way to hush his rivals is to show them his trophy cabinet.

He’s won six major pieces of silverware since his move from Aston Villa and is hoping to play his part in the Blues’ attempts to win another three this season.

Still, to many Grealish is seen as a hero, especially his younger sister Hollie who was born with cerebral palsy.

Asked if he is Hollie’s role model, Grealish said: “I think I probably am. But she gets fed up with me as well because I’m always winding her up and stuff!

“I love her to pieces, and we are so lucky to have her because when she was born, they told us she wouldn’t be able to do a lot of things like talking and walking, but luckily she can do all that now.”
