      Managers even cooked up a special menu for the Man City ace – titled ‘Grealish’s Festive Grub’
      Nando’s bosses closed their eaterie to make way for the high-profile guests – leaving hungry locals baffled.
      And chicken chain managers even cooked up a special menu for one of their favourite customers – titled ‘Grealish’s Festive Grub’.
      Jack’s special itemised card looked like the standard Nando’s menu but had footie-themed headings including ‘kick off’, ‘reach to tackle’, ‘full time’ and ‘off-sides’.
      And listed were the £100million man’s favourite grub – including chicken thighs and a garlic churrasco burger

      Invited guests to the Christmas knees-up couldn’t resist sharing snaps on social media.
      One picture showed the table groaning with huge platters of chips and chunky grilled halloumi with chilli jam.
      Bottles of Portuguese lager Sagres were seen scattered around the food, alongside orange juice and a pineapple and mango drink.
      Three Lions favourite Jack, famed for his low socks and massive calves, has often told of his love of Nando’s.

      And he happily posed for snaps outside the restaurant yesterday.
      Frustrated diners locked out of their favourite food venue, in Shirley, near Birmingham, had their spirits raised when guests including Jack and his Scottish pal McGinn stopped to pose for snaps.
      Jack, in a white t-shirt and white zipped top, happily smiled for the camera.
      Meanwhile the 29-year-old Villa man posed in a black jumper and blue anorak after Monday night’s bash.
      Last month Jack and his City and Norwegian striker pal Erling Haaland revealed each other’s favourite grub.
      The England ace said the goal machine – famed for an unusual diet consisting of cow’s heart and liver – also likes focaccia bread and his own pasta, which has a creamy tomato sauce.
      Jack, 28, admitted he “does eat a lot of bad stuff”, as Erling revealed his mate loves nothing more than “Nando’s, McDonald’s and pizza”.
      The wing wizard, who signed for treble winners City from Villa in 2021, joked: “He’s just made me sound like the fattest footballer in the Prem!”
      Nando’s was contacted for comment. More

      BOXER Tyson Fury faces a new fight — over an £82,000 council tax bill.Cheshire East Council claims the heavyweight champ, 35, his dad John, 59, and brother Shane, 32, owe the sum for property adjoining their £1million mansion in Styal.

      Magistrates are today set to issue a legal order demanding they pay up.
      If the three still fail to cough up, they could face “enforcement action” — meaning an unlucky bailiff could have the unenviable task of reclaiming assets from the boxing family.
      Married dad-of-seven Tyson dubbed The Gypsy King, is 6ft 9in.
      John is a 6ft 3in ex-pro boxer and bare-knuckle fighter, who once went to jail for gouging a man’s eye out.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Shane is a former superheavyweight amateur boxer.
      Tyson also has other boxing brothers, including Love Island star Tommy, 24.
      The council tax demand relates to land used for caravans and motorhomes adjoining the family’s £1million mansion in Styal, Cheshire.
      Court documents claim the Furys — jointly worth more than £134million — have failed to cough up £82,166.85 to Cheshire East Council.
      Most read in Boxing
      Land Registry papers show Tyson, Shane and John as the owners of the home and the land.
      John lives at the gated property, while Tyson is in Morecambe, Lancs.
      Barrister Sarah Robson, a fixed costs specialist at Alpha Court Chambers, said: “Often, the first time people realise a liability order has been granted is when bailiffs are sent round.
      “Cases are often sent to magistrates in batches of hundreds and sometimes thousands, and they are rubber stamped without real scrutiny.”
      It is not thought that the Furys will attend court today. Tyson’s representative declined to comment.

      With the hunt now on, the Championship side may even pay around £30,000 a week for the right man.
      A remarkable turnaround for Chansiri, who recently asked fans to help subsidise the club.
      Last month SunSport revealed the Thai owner would not sell the up even if they were relegated back to League One.
      In a shock statement in September, the 55-year-old refused to commit more money to the club.

      He said: “Hello to all Sheffield Wednesday fans.
      “I have thought about making this statement for some time and it is extremely difficult for me to do something that I never thought I would have to do.
      “But in the end, I think it is the time to say some things that I feel I have to say before it is too late.
      “First of all, I would like to thank all the fans who have supported the club so well over the past nine years or so since I came to Sheffield Wednesday.

      “There has been joy and sorrow, the joy we have shared together and in times of sorrow we have supported each other.
      “Right now, we are not in a good situation in the table and I believe that supporters have every right to voice opinions, speak from the heart and say anything you wish about the football.
      “That is the nature of the game, which I always respect. But I also believe there are limits to balance for the benefits of the club and all other stakeholders as a whole.”
      He added: “We all love Sheffield Wednesday and I am a supporter as well as the owner who must love and care for the club more than anyone else because of the position I am in as chairman.
      “I must take responsibility for everything at the club, including the financial support which is something I always do. But from now, I will not put additional money into the club.
      “If you say you are the owner and I am the custodian, then show me how to be the good owner and help save your club. You want me to leave but you want me to spend money?
      “If you want me to leave, then show me how to run the club and invest the money before I do that.
      “You have no right to ask me to leave. I am the one who saved the club and spent the money for the club, I am the one who needs to pay around £2m on average every month.
      “Some fans need to have more respect for owners of clubs and not be so selfish, thinking of their own benefit without doing anything good to the club.
      “This is not acceptable and as a result I am not willing to inject more money while I am being treated unfairly by those fans.
      “The club needs support from everyone during difficult times. In football, there are good times and not so good times.
      “It is easy to celebrate good times but we must support each other in difficult times.”
      Chansiri bought the Owls from Milan Mandaric in 2015 but has come under fire over recent months.

      Fed-up supporters have launched a number of protests against the Thai businessman ever since he axed Darren Moore in June just days after securing promotion back to the Championship.
      They then blasted the season ticket pricing and a huge banner at Hillsborough which read ‘Thank You Dejphon Chansiri’ was defaced and removed ahead of their game with Ipswich. More

      In contrast, only one in 12 said decisions by Premier League on-pitch referees led to serious anger.
      The survey found Arsenal fans argue with loved ones the most, with 20 per cent of the Gunners’ supporters bickering about Video Assistant Referee decisions.
      Chelsea, Southampton, Manchester United and Tottenham followed on the list.
      Aston Villa fans had the least rows, with only six per cent having a bust-up after the game.

      Betting site freebets.com asked 2,000 Premier League fans and found arguments are most often caused by disallowed goals for off side and penalty decisions.
      Spokesman Tim Agnew said: “The positive news is it’s making referees more popular, or at least the ref is no longer getting the brunt of fans’ fury.”
      It comes after the International FA Board last week said it was considering extending existing checks for goals, penalties and red cards to corners, free kicks and yellow cards. More
