🚨Liverpool legend John Aldridge breaks silence and slams both England players Declan Rice and Jack Grealish after their match in Ireland with a brutal message

Liverpool legend John Aldridge has voiced his strong disapproval of England players Declan Rice and Jack Grealish for switching their national allegiances from Ireland to England. Aldridge, who himself chose to represent the Republic of Ireland despite being born in England, expressed his frustration in a column, particularly after Rice and Grealish scored during England’s 2-0 win over Ireland in Dublin.

Rice, who played three senior matches for Ireland before opting to represent England, and Grealish, who represented Ireland at the youth level, faced boos from Irish fans during the match. Aldridge criticized their decisions, stating that wearing the green jersey is an honor and that their actions were disrespectful to Ireland.

Aldridge emphasized the emotional connection he felt when he was asked to play for Ireland by Jack Charlton, saying he could never imagine switching national teams after representing Ireland. He particularly condemned Rice’s switch after earning senior caps for Ireland, while expressing a lesser, but still critical view of Grealish’s decision, as he had only represented Ireland in his youth.

Both Rice and Grealish, for their part, acknowledged the mixed reception in Dublin but maintained that they hold no ill feelings toward Ireland, with Rice describing the game as a “great afternoon” and expressing pride in their performance
