ON NAMING CHILD AFTER STAR

ASTON Villa fan Prince William said he wants to name his third child after Jack Grealish, after watching the star score a spectacula­r late winner for his side.

William dropped a big hint he and wife Kate are expecting a boy after cheering on his team at Villa Park.

The Prince was snapped celebratin­g 22-year-old Grealish’s dramatic volley against Cardiff City with former player John Carew on Tuesday night.

After the crunch Championsh­ip game, he appeared to let slip the sex of his third child, who is due in the next few weeks. He told fans: “I’m going to insist the baby is called Jack,” before adding after a pause “… or Jackie”.

He made the light-hearted comment after watching Grealish score the stunning 85th minute winner against his team’s promotion rivals.

The 36-year-old, wearing a claret and blue scarf, sat in executive seats alongside Norwegian player Carew, 38.

After the game, Grealish gave

William his match-winning shirt as a souvenir when the Prince mingled with the players in the dressing room.

The delighted midfield star said of the meeting: “It was really nice. He’s such a down-to-earth person.”
