JACK GREALISH fought back tears in an emotional tribute to his brother Keelan, who passed away 25 years ago.

Grealish, 29, scored his first Premier League goal since December 16, 2023 as Man City beat Leicester 2-0 on Wednesday night – scoring on a memorable date for the winger and his family.

Grealish and his family lost his brother Keelan on April 2, 2000 – so it was fitting that the 39-time England international would end his goal drought on the 25th anniversary of his death.

Birmingham-born Grealish couldn’t help but get emotional when talking to the media about his performance and what it meant to score it on such an important evening.

Choking up, he said: “I felt like I deserved to play tonight and I was just happy. It was a nice day because my little brother passed away 25 years ago today.

“So this day is always hard in the family. My mum and dad were here and I think this day is always difficult in the family so to score and to win is brilliant.”

Grealish also took to social media to pay tribute to Keelan, posting a picture of his celebration and one of his baby brother’s grave.

He wrote alongside the upload: “With me always, especially this day. That was for you Keelan”.

His comments were flooded with messages of support from team-mates and fellow pros such as Morgan Rogers, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jacob Ramsey and John Terry.

Keelan was just nine months old when he passed away from cot death when Jack was four.

It’s not the first time that Grealish has paid tribute to his brother, doing so when he scored his first senior goal while on loan at Notts County in the 2013-14 season.

He did the same in November 2018 while playing for Aston Villa – that time dedicating his goal in a 4-2 victory over Birmingham City to his sibling.

After that game, the three-time Premier League champion was targeted by a sick troll who taunted him about Keelan’s death.

The troll – Alfie Perkins – was later fined after being convicted of sending offensive communications.

Jack’s dad Kevin has previously spoken about the trauma of Keelan’s death too.

He said: “He was only nine months old, he was a little angel and I was devastated. We all were.

“Jack was only a kid himself back then, but he still remembers Keelan and he still thinks about him with everything he achieves.

“We still miss Keelan and still think about him – you never ever get over losing a child – but we are so grateful and lucky that we are blessed with Jack, his brother Kevan and his little sisters Holly and Kiera.”

Grealish welcomed his own child for the first time in October, becoming a dad after partner Sasha Attwood gave birth to their baby girl Mila.

The £100million-man said that 2024 was the “the most difficult year of his life” back in February after his struggles on the pitch with Man City.

But his goal against Leicester has brought an end to a 473-day stint without a league goal.

His guided finish opened up the scoring for Man City before Omar Marmoush doubled the lead for Pep Guardiola‘s side before half-time.

Risk to us all

A REMORSELESS, violent, mentally ­unstable al-Qaeda-trained terrorist with a deranged hatred of Jews, Christians and moderate Muslims.

An extremist henchman of hook-handed Abu Hamza linked to the 7/7 atrocity and still considered both a risk to national security and highly capable of radicalising others.

Not, you would imagine, a prime ­candidate to be let loose on our streets.

You’d be wrong.

As recently as 2022 Haroon Aswat was in a US jail, issuing death threats and proudly telling a British shrink: “I am a terrorist.”

Just three years later he is back here and, after hospital treatment, supposedly safe to head home to Yorkshire.

He will not even be under surveillance.

He merely has to tell cops where he’s living.

High Court judge Mr Justice Jay says: “The defendant’s treatment has been effective.”

That’s about as rose-tinted a view as can ever have been uttered.

Police think he’s still a danger. But a bizarre quirk of the rules means no formal risk assessment has been done.

For the public’s safety Home Secretary Yvette Cooper MUST demand one.

And block this appalling individual’s release until it is complete.

Legal loon

IF Attorney General Richard Hermer had his way we’d all spend every Thursday night banging pots and pans for the ECHR.

To him, this foreign court notorious for trampling on our ­sovereignty and security is a cause for “national ­celebration”.

We wonder if Keir Starmer now regrets handing a plum Government job to this unelected human rights obsessive.

Especially with Hermer also pompously declaring that criticism of judges is “entirely unacceptable”, especially from MPs in the Commons.

Recent Commons critics of judges include one Keir Starmer, over the asylum wrongly granted to a family of Gazans.

Also Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, over the Sentencing Council’s official endorsement of two-tier justice.

How long can Sir Keir put up with this loose cannon, who after an ignoble career spent opposing British interests has now effectively attacked him personally?

Air farce

THE Heathrow blackout and shutdown was already a global embarrassment.

Now we learn bosses were warned days earlier about the risk of power cuts.

Airlines’ representative Nigel Wicking raised concerns about the “overall resilience of the airport” after thieves stole cabling and knocked out runway lights.

No, those thefts aren’t related to the electricity substation catching fire.

But why DOES the operation of Britain’s major international airport appear constantly to be hanging by a thread?

GABRIEL’S wife Gabrielle Figueiredo has given a concerning update on the Arsenal star’s injury.

The Brazilian, 27, went down clutching his hamstring barely 15 minutes into his side’s 2-1 win over Fulham on Tuesday night.

After receiving treatment on the pitch, the centre-back shook his head as he limped off.

His wife Gabrielle attended a screening of Amazon Prime Video’s Married To The Game season two on Wednesday afternoon.

The show follows a selection of Premier League stars and their wives, including Gabriel’s Arsenal team-mate Jorginho.

While speaking to the Mail at the event, Gabrielle was asked about how it can be tricky for players’ families when they go through issues on the pitch.

She said: “It’s difficult. I think the perfect example is now, because he got injured yesterday.

“So that is why he’s not here with me today. He would love to be here. I would love to be here with him.

“Yesterday we got the news he got injured, and now he is with the doctor having scans.

“So this is the real life, and we never expected anything like this.”

On how she supports her man in times of adversity, Gabrielle added: “I think the only thing that we could do is being together and be the assurance for each other.

“That is the thing that I (will) do when I arrive home today. And yeah, it’s not easy, but we try our best to create this bond together every day, in every difficult moment.”

In addition to Gabriel, Arsenal also lost Jurrien Timber to injury during the victory over Fulham.

Asked about the pair after the game, boss Mikel Arteta said: “We will be assessing them tomorrow.

“Gabi felt something in his hamstring. We don’t know how big that is.

“With Jurrien he was already struggling early. He couldn’t continue.”

Arsenal now face a nervous wait for further updates ahead of their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid next Tuesday.

In the meantime they will travel to Everton this Saturday.

Gunners fans have been boosted by the return to fitness of Bukayo Saka.

The England winger scored just seven minutes into his return from the bench against Fulham.

PETER Andre’s wife has shared a rare glimpse of their youngest baby as the tot celebrates turning one years old.

Peter and his doctor wife Emily have remained private when it comes to revealing the identities of their children and details surrounding them but Emily shared a sneak peak at their youngest child, Arabella.

Emily took to Instagram today to pay tribute to her daughter on her very first birthday.

She uploaded a snap of a lavish birthday set-up for the tot who could be seen in front of it with her back to the camera to carefully conceal her face.

Emily wrote alongside the snap: “How is our baby 1 already?! @peterandre.

“Time, please slow down. From teeny tiny to full of personality — Happy Birthday to our very own Baby Belle.”

Following Arabella’s birth, Peter confessed that both he and Emily were adamant they would have no more children.

Peter and Emily got married in 2015 and have Amelia, nine, Theo, seven, and Arabella.

The Mysterious Girl singer is also dad to Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, from his previous marriage to Katie Price.

Despite being convinced they won’t have more children, Peter is yet to make up his mind about having a vasectomy in the future.

Admitting he was naive before reading up on it, Peter, 51, assumed the minor op changed the sound of a man’s voice.

He said on the Netmums podcast: “I then went and started asking people who’ve had it done, and they were like, ‘It’s horrific. It’s this, it’s that’.”

Pressed on whether or not he’d now go ahead and get it done, he continued: “Probably not now. Look, I’m not gonna lie, I’ve completely bottled it. It’s freaked me out.

“Then again, if it means that she doesn’t have to do anything to prevent it, I will do it.

“But it’s going to take some guts to do and I need to man up. I need to actually just go, you know what? Get over it and do it. But I’m just struggling a bit at the moment with the thought.”

BEN Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff are still living together despite their split, as ‘neither can afford to move out.’ 

The couple, who have been together for the past 12 years, announced last month that they were splitting up.

But despite their split, the couple, who share daughter Mila, nine, remain living together as they aren’t able to afford to move out[/caption]

They met on the 2013 series of Strictly Come Dancing when Ben was still married to his wife Abby.

But despite their split, the couple, who share daughter Mila, nine, remain living together as they aren’t able to afford to move out.

A source said: “The split is reasonably amicable and they are putting co-parenting first, but who would want to live with their ex?

“They owe a lot of money after serious business difficulties and it seems that even when the house sale goes through they aren’t going to come out with all that much.”

They continued to tell MailOnline: “At that point they will try to fund two separate much smaller places to live going forward. It will be a huge downsize for them both.

“But for now they are having to carry on living together because they have to look after their finances really carefully. They simply can’t afford a different solution.” 

It comes as Kristina and Ben sold their family home for £1.75million following their split amid money troubles. 

The couple were living in a plush five-bedroom pad in Sywell, Northamptonshire, with their daughter Mila, with the house’s huge garden coming complete with a zipline. 

The property, which was bought by the couple for £950,000 in 2016, was put up for sale last September after the pair admitted they were having trouble financially.

Just six months later, they’ve decided to call time on their relationship as they continue to sell some of their shared assets. 

According to DailyMail, the pair have now successfully found a buyer for their home. 

It’s believed the pair are over £1million in debt in their businesses, with Kristina previously explaining the pair had “invested everything we’ve ever had” into their company Soo Yoga Group. 

Their businesses have not filed their finances for the past four years. 

The extent of their financial woes became public knowledge last September, when Kristina was hauled into court for driving without insurance. 

During the appearance, Ben took to the stand and blamed her lack of insurance as human error on his part – and admitted they were both crippled with debts from their multiple businesses.

FOOD factory workers are fearing for their jobs after a £1.2billion merger between two ready-meal giants.

Greencore, the UK’s biggest maker of sandwiches, yesterday struck terms for a merger with Bakkavor the maker of hummus dips, pizzas and desserts.

The deal will create a food colossus with £4billion of revenues from selling salads, sushi, soups, quiches and meals to almost all our supermarkets.

Shares in Bakkavor jumped by 7.87 per cent to 191.8p while Greencore’s shares also edged up by 0.90 per cent to 180.20p.

The takeover of Bakkavor will result in a £600million payday for the “Bakka brothers” — the nickname for Lýdur and Ágúst Gudmundsson, who had run the business until three years ago.

But workers have been put on notice that the deal will result in cost-cutting after the companies said they believed there “is potential for substantial synergies resulting from a combination”.

Eamon O’Hearn, GMB union national officer, said: “GMB is calling for a commitment to no factory closures and no job losses.” Bakkavor already has tense labour relations — and strikes lasted six months at its factory in Spalding, Lincs, before a deal on pay last month.

Greencore employs 13,300 people while Bakkavor employs 17,200 and both firms face significantly higher staffing costs as a result of the Budget’s changes to employers’ NI contributions.

The deal will undoubtedly trigger an investigation from the Competition and Markets Authority because Greencore and Bakkavor have overlapping businesses and a shared customer base.

It will be one of the first merger tests for the competition watchdog since it was given an explicit growth mission by the Government.

There are concerns the new firms could push up prices.

CAUGHT SHORTBREAD

WALKER’S SHORTBREAD has said US tariffs will be “devastating” for the 127-year-old biscuit maker.

Walker’s Shortbread has said US tariffs will be ‘devastating’[/caption]

Nicky Walker — from the fourth generation to head the family-owned firm — said they would have to “hope for the best” if slapped with 20 per cent levies.

He told us that the Highlands-based company had strategically grown its hefty export business to America in recent years.

The US is now worth more than a quarter of its revenues, at some £38million.

Mr Walker added: “We don’t have the option of moving our manufacturing out of Scotland.

“The provenance of our product is paramount, and we’re proud to be made in Scotland — our tartan packaging screams Scotland.

“We can’t just go and start making shortbread in other countries to avoid tariffs.”

There are hopes that Trump’s late mother being Scottish might help in trade negotiations, but Mr Walker admits it is a “long shot”.

PI PROFIT IS SLICED BY HALF

LOW-cost computer maker Raspberry PI has posted a halving in profits in its first year of being a listed company.

The firm, held up as a rare British success story, blamed the slide in profits on a hangover from pandemic- related shortages and said it had overcome supply issues.

Pre-tax profits fell 57 per cent to £12.6million, but its adjusted earnings of £28.8million were £500,000 ahead of what analysts had predicted.

Sales edged 2 per cent down to £201million this year.

The Cambridge-based firm, whose products are meant to teach coding to kids, said it had faced £12.2million in extra costs associated with its listing last year.

Boss Eben Upton said that its £542million listing had “undoubtedly extended awareness of Raspberry Pi’s value proposition” and had led to “promising” discussions with equipment manufacturers.

TESLA HIT THE SKIDS

TESLA has suffered its worst slump in sales in three years as it faces a consumer backlash in Europe due to Elon Musk’s links to the Trump regime.

Vehicle sales fell by 13 per cent in the last quarter, while in Europe registrations tumbled by 43 per cent.

It also faces stiff competition from Chinese rival BYD.

However, analysts said the slump was also due to Tesla factories being impacted by a delayed launch of its revamped Model Y car.

SHELL TO DRIVE ON DIVERSITY

SHELL might have reacted to Donald Trump’s anti-woke agenda by watering down green targets but it is one of a few corporate beasts to still embrace diversity policies.

Trump’s elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion policies (DEI) has caused companies ranging from Accenture to Goldman Sachs, Disney, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Boeing And Molson Coors to swiftly abandon or “sunset” diversity targets.

The Trump administration has warned suppliers and recipients of any government funds that they must comply with a ban on DEI programmes or risk losing payments.

Many global firms have also deleted web pages referring to their DEI programmes.

However, The Sun’s analysis shows Shell still includes targets in its annual report while its boss, Wael Sawan, is still quoted saying “creating the most diverse and inclusive organisation in the world will make us a better company and is going to be a competitive differentiator for us in the energy transition”.

BP, which is leaning into Trump’s “drill baby drill” agenda and followed Trump’s renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, is still sticking by its DEI programmes.

BP’s boss, Murray Auchincloss, had previously been the oil giant’s “race and ethnicity champion” in the UK.

Both have huge operations in the US.

MARKET END OF THE PIER

THE leisure group behind the 126-year-old Brighton Palace Pier has become the latest firm to quit London’s junior stock market.
Brighton Pier Group – which also owns a number of bars and mini-golf venues – said it is planning to cancel its listing on London’s Aim market, sending shares slumping by nearly 60 per cent.

The firm, chaired by former chairman of Pizza Express and Patisserie Valerie Luke Johnson, said the decision follows a “review of the benefits and drawbacks” of its stock market listing.

It marks the latest blow to the Aim market after model train firm Hornby revealed plans last month to go private, blaming regulatory hurdles and costs involved.

While the mother does get trolling online, she thanked the majority of the viewers who leave positive comments – and this clip was no exception.

Close to a whopping 100 supportive fans flocked to praise the single mum, with one writing: ”How rude people are. You don’t have to justify yourself to anyone! None of us do!

”You are a great Mum and your children are a credit to you. Go and have a flippin’ nice coffee.”

Another chimed in: ”I am constantly saying to my husband ‘how amazing is this girl, I dnt knw how she does it’.

”I get how frustrating it is tho for every troll there r thousands of people who will think u r awesome.”

Someone else agreed, commenting: ”What sad people who feel they have the right to ask such personal questions, all I see is a hard working mum who gives their children all their needs, ignore them.”

”Unhappy and unfulfilled people leave remarks that reflect their life! You’re amazing!” a fourth reminded.

A beloved high street store in Leamington is closing down[/caption]

Located on 64A Regent Street, Stone The Crown will close for good as its parent company prepares to go into administration.

The Leamington-based store put a statement out on its website to inform its loyal fans.

They said: “The time has unfortunately arrived for a closing down sale at Stone the Crows.

“Yes, you read that correctly.”

“Our company will soon be entering a period of administration, so we’re offering our customers unbelievable discounts first to sell all of our stock in the coming weeks.”

Lamenting fans poured out on social media.

Hundreds of saddened residents took to Facebook in order to express their dismay.

The once thriving and popular shop was mourned on the Leamington Spa Noticeboard Facebook page.

One said: “This is the best shop ever so many memories growing up so sad to see this.”

Another commented: “This is so sad. It’s a Leamington institution.”

And another said: “I can’t believe it.

“That’s been there a long time now.

“Extremely sad news.

“Another very good retailer going from Leamington.”

The popular store also has branches in Dronfield in Derbyshire, and Braintree in Essex.

A member of staff at the Leamington branch said he thought the company would be keeping one of the branches open but not the Leamington branch.

He added that the store had been extremely busy due to the closing down sale.
