JACK GREALISH has hit back at former Aston Villa manager John Gregory over an event "that never happened".<\/p>\n
Gregory, 69, was detailing a story on the Undr the Cosh podcast from when he was managing Crawley with Grealish starring for Notts County while on loan from Villa the 2013\/14 season.<\/p>\n

He claimed to have gotten the \u00a3100million Manchester City star substituted off after taunting the then teenage ace.<\/p>\n
Gregory said: "I actually got Jack Grealish taken off once.<\/p>\n
"He was on loan at Notts County from Villa so this would be about 2014. He must have been about 18\/19 at the time.<\/p>\n
"I'm in the dugout and whenever he came near me, I said', f******\u00a0Jack Grealish.\u00a0Aston Villa. F****** rubbish. No wonder they've f****** sent you out to Notts County.' <\/p>\n
"I'm right in his ear, 'no wonder they don't f****** want you up there'. Getting into him."<\/p>\n He continued: "They take him off and he went home and told his dad and his dad spoke to one of my friends. <\/p>\n "He said, 'hey, what about your mate Gregory having a pop at my Jack'. So my mate said, 'took him off though, didn't they?'"<\/p>\n Grealish faced Crawley twice under Gregory, being subbed off in the 66th minute of a 1-0 defeat in December 2013.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n However, Grealish refutes the claim that it was down to Gregory's touchline verbals.<\/p>\n Taking to his Instagram page, Grealish said: "John Gregory – Episode 1 of things that never happened… What a clown."<\/p>\n The second time he faced Gregory's Crawley he completed the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 win.<\/p>\n Grealish played 39 times for County in all competitions that season, scoring five goals.<\/p>\n Thereafter he broke into the Villans first-team and remained there until his record transfer to Pep Guardiola's City.<\/p>\n Gregory managed Crawley between December 2013 and December 2014, stepping down to due to health problems.<\/p>\n A return to management beckoned in 2017 with Indian Super League team Chennaiyin FC, where he won the Indian Super League title.<\/p>\n He had previously managed Villa for four years between 1998 and 2002, and had also previously been an assistant at the club between 1994 and 1996.<\/p>\n Gregory had even spent two years with Villa as a player from 1977 to 1979.<\/p>\n<\/picture>SUCK IT UP <\/span><\/p>\n
