The 27-year-old's antics went viral as snaps and videos seemed to show the star leading the party at every possible moment.

Grealish paraded behind interviews with a beer in hand and speaker blaring, went shirtless and he got fans going on a tram, donned a high vis jacket as he greeted the crowds of Manchester, sang the famous Bernado Silva though most microphones handed to him and pretended to be a turkey as Kalvin Phillips poured vodka down his throat.

Amongst all the partying one photographer captured an iconic photo of the midfielder standing at the front of the Manchester City parade bus topless, arms outstretched and shorts just about clinging on to his Calvin Kleins.
