Ex-Crystal Palace owner Jordan: I'd never want lunch with nitwit Grealish

Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has strongly debunked Gabby Agbonlahor's claim that he was once snubbed by Jack Grealish.

Agbonlahor, a former Aston Villa striker, revealed that Manchester City ace Grealish turned down lunch with Jordan on a Spanish island as he had no clue who he was.

“Apparently many years ago in Ibiza, Mr Simon Jordan wanted to meet our Jack Grealish for lunch," the ex-Villa striker said.

“And he spoke to Jack's security. And Jack said, "Who is Simon Jordan?"

“He didn't know who he was so it was a no... He wanted to enjoy his party on the beach in Ibiza."

Jordan responded on talkSPORT: “The only problem with that story is the facts - and the fact that Gabby has anything to do with it.

“First and foremost, I don't like going for Happy Meals so I wouldn't be going with Jack anywhere.

“Second of all it would have hardly been a meeting of the minds. Third of all, I lived in Marbella not in Ibiza. Not if you dragged my tongue to a back of a ferry and drove me to Ibiza would I want to go there.

“And the last person I'd want lunch with is that Alice band-wearing nitwit so there's absolutely no truth in it!"
