Older Birmingham fans will say Trevor Francis, from my time I'd say Mikael Forssell was great for us, I also had a soft spot for Emile Heskey and Cameron Jerome (which I'd get slaughtered for this one by some Blues fans lol)
Neither of them though are in Kane, Rashford, or Sterling's league, or when I've seen some Villa fans on Twitter compare Grealish to Mbappe.
Oh and currently Blues fans are hyping up Bellingham who's now playing for Dortmund, I want him to do well, but again I'd object to him being compared to Mbappe and Messi too if anybody was barmy enough to do that.
Both Bellingham and Grealish have to earn being compared to the current greats, at the moment they've both won nothing (haven't even come close to winning anything) have been in relegation fights throughout their careers so far, and in Grealish's case he can't seem to beat a player without falling to the floor.
