Former England star Teddy Sheringham has issued a stern warning to Manchester City’s Jack Grealish. Grealish turns 30 in September.
Grealish once dazzled fans as a key talent on the pitch. Now, his off-field distractions draw heavy criticism from football veterans.
He became infamous during the ‘dentist’s chair’ incident in Hong Kong. He even joined Paul Gascoigne on a wild England outing. Later, he clashed with England manager Glenn Hoddle after a night in Portugal.
Teddy Sheringham knows a thing or two about partying in football. He warns that Grealish risks his career by gambling with his lifestyle. Sheringham insists that winning the Premier League and celebrating is not enough.

Grealish has struggled for form this season. He has started only six Premier League matches. His goals came in an FA Cup rout against Plymouth Argyle and a Champions League loss in Paris. Overall, he recorded three goals and three assists in all club competitions during the 2023/24 campaign.
The lack of game time has spurred rumors of a potential move away from Manchester City. Several pundits urge him to find a fresh start. Sheringham fears that without improvement, another big club may not show enough interest.
Sheringham told Prime Casino that some players played hard and then saw their abilities fall off a cliff. He added, “He just needs to get his focus back.”
Sheringham warns that Grealish’s career could slip away without a return to form. The England star must concentrate on staying injury-free and regaining his football mode. Pressure is on for Grealish to deliver or risk being left behind.
