Jack Grealish
English association football player (born 1995)
Jack Peter Grealish (born 10 September 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Everton, on loan from Manchester City. Known for his dribbling and playmaking ability, Grealish was considered amongst the best wingers in the world during his prime. He is also regarded as one of the most popular and marketable athletes in England.
Grealish joined Aston Villa at the age of six, and made his debut for the club in May 2014, following a loan at Notts County, becoming club captain in 2019. In 2021, Grealish was signed by Manchester City in a transfer deal worth £100 million, making him at the time, the most expensive British player ever. In his first season with the club, he won a Premier League title, before securing a continental treble in his second campaign. After falling out of favour at City, Grealish was loaned to Everton in 2025, and again in 2026.
Born in England with Irish ancestry, Grealish was eligible to represent either England or the Republic of Ireland internationally. He was capped by the Republic of Ireland up to under-21 level before confirming his decision to play for England in April 2016. Grealish played for the England under-21s for the first time in May 2016, winning the 2016 Toulon Tournament.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jack Grealish” as english association football player (born 1995). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as english association football player (born 1995). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16056053. VIAF identifies the subject as 4211164842509613040007. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2014, 2019 and 2021.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
