It's been a source of amusement for many, the aged footwear disintegrating before our eyes, what is the story with Jack Grealish boots?
Fresh from leading his club to Premier League promotion after a 2-1 victory over Derby, Grealish explained the back story to his ragged pair of Nike Mercurials.

What are those! ?

The Superstitious skipper's future at the club is far less certain, with John McGinn explaining post-match his next job is to convince Grealish "to stay."
Regardless of Jack Grealish boots and their poor condition, it's been a superb season for the 23-year-old who was one of two Aston Villa players named in the Championship team of the year.
