Jed Steer has named Jack Grealish as the best player the 31-year-old goalkeeper has ever played with as Aston Villa.

The former Villa Park shot-stopper spent ten years in Birmingham with the Premier League side, with Steer having the privilege of playing alongside some truly fantastic players.

Yet for many Villa fans, only one player sticks out as being truly the best in recent memory, that being now-Manchester City star Grealish.

And speaking to Peterborough United’s official website, Steer named the England international as the best he’s ever played with during his decade-long spell at Villa.

Indeed, with Grealish one of the best players in a Premier League and a star for the Three Lions, it’s perhaps no real surprise Steer named the winger as his pick.

Steer said when asked who the best player he has ever played with was: “Jack Grealish. The way he plays, goes past people, the way he makes it look so easy. I have got to go with Jack.”

Jack Grealish’s legacy at Aston Villa now means more than ever

Grealish’s £100m move to City shook the footballing world, yet since the transfer, it’s clear that the move has left a lasting legacy at Villa.

Unai Emery’s side are now genuine Premier League title contenders, with Villa also looking like a sure bet to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season via a top-four finish.

And it’s hard to imagine where Villa would be had Grealish not been sold, with the winger’s performances for the club also crucial in the Villa Park standing where they currently are now.
