In the first half of an EFL Championship game between Birmingham and Aston Villa one of the worst pitch invasions in recent history occurred. A Birmingham fan ran onto the pitch and punched Aston Villa’s star player Jack Grealish in the head.

Jack Grealish was left unharmed but the damage to the sport was permanent. It was a disgrace to the sport to see something like this occur during a game. The fact that a fan would treat another teams player like that is a disgrace to the game. A fan should never treat someone like that. The hooliganism in England has gotten out of control. There needs to be some changes made to stop the pitch invasions. Jack Grealish ended up scoring in the second half to turn his day around a little.

Paul Mitchell the pitch invader has since been 14 weeks in jail for his invasion and assault of Jack Grealish.
