# Aston Villa fans praise “class act” Jack Grealish after he donates shirt to young Palace fan

Aston Villa fans are loving Jack Grealish’s actions this week, after the midfielder donated a shirt to a young Crystal Palace fan.

If anyone had any doubts over how much of a class act Grealish was, then they are certainly don’t now.

This just shows how suitable Grealish is to lead the club as a captain.

Let’s hope he can be captain for a number of years.
