JACK GREALISH revealed in an amusing text he has the hangover from hell after four days celebrating the heaven of Manchester City’s Treble.
Grealish‘s status as City‘s chief party animal was underlined in outrageous pictures from their victory parade through Manchester and confirmed in a phone message to Jimmy Bullard.

The winger has not been shy with his topless drinking as he’s revelled since Pep Guardiola’s men beat Inter Milan 1-0 in Saturday’s Champions League final.
That followed Premier League and FA Cup glory as City emulated the famous Treble achieved by neighbours United in 1999.
Bullard, who presented Sky Sports’ Soccer AM, told talkSPORT how Grealish confessed the extent of his post-party come-down.
The ex-Wigan midfielder said: “I texted him earlier telling him I’m coming on talkSPORT etc, saying, ‘I love ya, good luck, how’s your three trophies?’
“He texted back, saying, ‘Wow, I’m in a world of pain’. What a legend!”
At one stage worse-for-wear Grealish had to be held up by City team-mate Kyle Walker as they headed to Ibiza airport.
And during Monday’s triumphant parade he looked bemused as Erling Haaland covered him in champagne.
Grealish then had drink poured down his throat as he stood open-mouthed when City’s players greeted the fans at the end of the ride.

But it’s no wonder he’s enjoying City’s historic season more than most.
The 27-year-old had never won a major honour until this term.
So as he clambered aboard City’s open-top bus trip, he could reflect on waiting so long for one to arrive and suddenly seeing three turn up almost at once.
Fans seem delighted with the England ace being his true self, especially as he’s been in such intoxicating form on the pitch.
Bullard backed that up, saying: “He’ll be going in and playing that laddy character. He’s had it all his life and I think that’s a massive pull.
“The City team doesn’t have a great English contingency. To have Jack, he’s at the heart of everything and every celebration which is important.
“I love the boy. I think he’s unbelievable for English football.
“I hope people don’t put him on a pedestal too much and then chop the legs off of him, let Jack be Jack. Let him celebrate when he wants to celebrate.”
