On the day he turns 19, the rising star reminded his employers about a recent birthday tradition for footballers…
Whether Yaya Toure ever really got the hump because Manchester City didn’t celebrate his birthday with a cake or not may never be known but the incident is now so infamous that it has become part of the lexicon of football.
We’ve seen a few footballers make jokes about birthday celebrations and the latest is a youngster who we are going to hear a lot about in the coming years, Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish. The 19-year-old replied to Aston Villa like so…
“@AVFCOfficial: Happy birthday to @JackGrealish1 today. Have a great day Jack. #AVFC pic.twitter.com/p9fXAHTlc7” I hope yous got me a cake
