Football fan jailed for punching Jack Grealish found dead
A football fan jailed after hitting England and Manchester City footballer Jack Grealish has been found dead.
Birmingham fan Paul Mitchell attacked Grealish at St Andrew’s Stadium in March 2019.
He attacked Grealish, then 23, from behind after ten minutes.
The footballer, now at Manchester City, used to play in midfield for Aston Villa.
Mitchell was sentenced to 14 weeks behind bars at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty to assault.
Now, according to The Sun, the 32-year-old was found dead at a property this week.
Friends and family paid tribute to Mitchell on social media and described him as a “big boy who adored” his three children.
His cousin, Lucy Mitchell, told The Sun: “Paul absolutely adored his three children.
“He always had a smile on his face no matter what. He had the kindest heart. Sadly, he will be missed by many.
“He was a very popular man. It won’t be the same without him here.
