Jack Grealish troll who taunted Aston Villa star over dead brother spends the night helping the homeless to try and make up for it
Twisted Alfie Perkins wrote 'he might have scored but it'll never bring his dead brother back' after the Aston Villa ace made it 1-0 in the Second City derby
A TWITTER troll who taunted Aston Villa star Jack Grealish over his dead brother has spent the night helping the homeless in a desperate bid to make up for it.
Twisted Alfie Perkins wrote "he might have scored but it'll never bring his dead brother back" after the Aston Villa ace made it 1-0 in the Second City derby.
Tweeting a picture of little Keelan Grealish's grave, he added: "That gives me more satisfaction than anything ever could".
The shamed Brummie was confronted by reformed Birmingham City hooligan Barrington Patterson - dubbed 'one-eyed Baz' after a spectacular career of footie violence.
Former kickboxer Barrington wrote on Facebook: "Over the last few days I have spent time talking to Alfie and his dad.
"He has shown up under his own steam to do homeless outreach tonight and met some people who have a lot less than him.
";He will be delivering his own apology to the Grealish family as we move forward."
Speaking yesterday outside the family home in Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham, a relative told The Sun Online: "He won’t regret what he’s done.
"I haven’t spoken to him. He won’t speak to none of us.
";I don’t care what happens to him, to be honest."
Grealish might have scored but it'll never bring his dead brother back

The university student is thought to have gone into hiding after his post sparked outrage last night.
Keelan tragically died in his sleep aged nine months in 2000.
Last year Jack posted a heartfelt Instagram tribute to his brother - writing: "as long as there is someone in the sky to protect me, there is no one on earth who could break me.
Cops are believed to be investigating the post - which racked up thousands of retweets before cowardly Alfie deleted his account last night.
FAMILY SAY HE'LL HAVE NO REGRETS
Another sick post read: "Grealish went down quicker than his brother got lowered into the grave".
And writing on the morning of the game, he predicted that Birmingham City striker Che Evans would "score the winner and reveal a shirt in front of Grealish saying 'where's your brother gone'".
Neighbours today described Alfie - who was today banned for life by Birmingham City - as a "nice lad" who did "something stupid".
One said "He don’t live around here no more. I think he’s at uni.

"He used to hang around with my lad. They got on well, to a point.
"He seemed nice, I’ve no idea why he would have done something so stupid”.
Another resident said: “I know about the post. Everyone knows about it.
"But he isn’t here. I don’t know where he is. I haven’t seen him for a while."
A West Midlands Police spokeswoman said the force would be "reviewing complaints around offensive social media posts."
