Seen a few clips of him on their tour, one with a little mascot, one with a disabled child and another with a lad asking for photos - asks Rihanna to take the photo of him, his dad and mate - probably no idea who she is ).
Despite the obvious Villa link, he really is a decent genuine guy. Nice to see in a world full of overpaid footballers of which he's one.
He seems like a real good guy. Always has time for those that are usually ignored or forgotten about. There was that one where they were getting medals and a young blind girl was trying to shake the players hands. None on them bothered until he did first.
Comes across as an absolute diamond.
I believe he lost a brother as well which has probably gave him a bit of a perspective on life..
The footage of him talking to the little blind girl at the CL trophy lifting ceremony is class.
Can't help but like him.
He just seems like some of the lads you'd know back at school who's been made a professional footballer, but you'd still find them at a Wetherspoons on a Friday night.
Just appears pretty grounded and like a normal guy, especially compared to some I'd imagine at Man City.
