Villa boss Sherwood: Grealish a star

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has dubbed rookie Jack Grealish "a star".

The youngster again started for victory at Tottenham yesterday.

Sherwood said: "It's just his style. If he performs how I think he can perform for this football club he can dress how he wants. It's not a fashion show.

"He is good and perhaps he knows he's good. You know what he said to me when I told him he was playing? He just said: 'About time!'

"I never had a doubt and you know why? Because he's absolutely loved here.

"When I first came in he was sitting on the bench, the fans were singing someone's name and I thought 'It's not mine - who are they chanting for?

"But it was Jack they were calling for. For someone who's not really played that much, he's a star."
