I think most rival fans disliked him because he threw himself to the ground so much. I couldn't stand him. But he's proved himself since his move to the PL to be a cut above most of the divas which populate that league.
Agreed spot on, I hated the diving and cheating when he was young, but you see he's grown up so much and is a decent human being at heart.
I have to admit that with the falling over antics and the various partying/driving offences I had him down as a one trick pony destined to become a minor George Best type figure.
However, I am glad to get proved wrong as he appears to have matured as a player and demonstrated that he is a very decent fella.

Loved the way the City crowd made his life a misery when he came down here with Villa in Warnock’s first season, but feel a bit embarrassed about it now because this isn’t the only recent example of him showing he’s a nice bloke.
Reminded me what a great game that was though, championship football at its best.
Sat in the family stand because my mate took his daughter to her first game. We were picked out and won boxes of pizza which we had to share with people around us because we'd already eaten. His daughter thought every game was like that bless her
For the dopes on here moaning about his diving, I know every one one of you would accept a goal scored from a cardiff players dive "it's part of the game" " they all do it in the prem" so shut up. The bloke has made loads of kind gestures , plays for a top club and plays for his country.
Never really liked him...but he DOES seem to have turned a corner......good for him and an example to follow off the field....
He never had to "turn any corner" Maurice, it's how he was brought up.
It's not an act.
There's an old Jewish saying that goes... "Give me a boy to the age of seven, and I give you the man" (I'm not Jewish btw :hehe:).
I'm a firm believer that our character/personality has been formed by this age.
He’s one of those players who, on the opposite team, you’ll always think is a dick, but you’d love him if he was playing for you.
Off the pitch I’ve got a very respect for him from recent things I’ve seen
He has a younger sister with Cerebral Palsy. He's always had a caring side.
He's also maturing into a fine footballer, and I think Pep is partly responsible for that. After his transfer he didn't walk straight into the Man City team, he had to learn and earn his place. He's much better for it.

I’ve never met Jack but know his girlfriends family well. He’s a very complex person affected by the loss of his brother, very close to his family and likes to return home to them after every game. He likes to have a lot of people around him for emotional security. He turned down a transfer to Spurs a few years ago because it was too far from his family.
He is the guy we all love to hate but he’s also the guy who personally needs lots of love & assurance.
