In December, Manchester City star England midfielder Jack Grealish spoke of his devastation after burglars struck his Cheshire home.

In an Instagram post after the raiders struck, reportedly taking jewellery and watches during City’s Premier League clash against Everton, he wrote: “This has been a traumatic experience for all of us, I am just so grateful that nobody was hurt.”
