Jack Grealish admits he thought he was going to be a Tottenham Hotspur player at the start of the season.
However, ten months on, the boyhood Aston Villa fan captained his side to a Championship Play-Off final win at Wembley.

Jack Grealish celebrates after helping Aston Villa win the Play-Off Final
After tasting defeat at the famous ground to Fulham last season, Villa were plunged into financial difficulties and Grealish looked certain to move to north London.
However, an influx of money from the new owners and a five-year contract convinced the attacker to stay at Villa Park and he told Ian Abrahams just how glad he is with how the situation unfolded.
He said: “I thought I was gone as well! That’s why I was waving goodbye to the fans, but I think everything happens for a reason.
“Especially after this season; I ended up staying, scored twice against the Blues, dreams come true!”

The Villans have ended their three-year exile from the top-flight
Goals from Anwar El Ghazi and John McGinn set the Villans on course for a 2-1 victory over Derby County on Monday, with Grealish at the heart of everything Villa tried to implement.
And after making his Premier League bow five years ago, the 23-year-old is eager to show how much he has improved.
“Honestly, I am absolutely speechless,” Grealish told ‘The Moose’. “It is just a dream come true for me.
“I started the season not even thinking I was going to be a Villa player and ten months on I am here now.

The England Under-21 international is crucial to Villa
“I’m the captain and we are back in the Premier League.”
With Villa fan Dean Smith in charge and Grealish wearing the captain’s armband, it seemed victory was written in the stars before a ball had even been kicked at Wembley.
And the midfielder never allowed nerves to get the better of him.
“Honestly, the best day of my life – I can’t explain it,” he added.
