Calendar of Jack Grealish's CALVES created by 'Britain's dullest man' are flying off the shelves ahead of Christmas
While Jack Grealish may have impressed football fans with his tactical skills during the Euros - some members of the public seemed more preoccupied by his looks than his performance on the pitch.
And his loyal fanbase are just as infatuated with the footballer as they were in July, with an entire calendar dedicated to his impressive calf muscles flying off the shelves ahead of Christmas.
The 12-page calendar, titled 'Wonderful World of Jack Grealish's Calves' has been compiled by the UK's self-proclaimed 'dullest man' Kevin Beresford, 69, from Redditch.
Grandfather-of-two Kevin's latest calendar includes a series of close-ups of the Manchester City footballer's calves, with his upper body and feet completely cropped out.

Kevin has created some of the UK's most bizarre calendars, from roundabouts across the world to his top Welsh post boxes and his latest project - 'Benches of Redditch', lovingly depicting 12 benches in and around the West Midlands.
The retired painter, who previously printed a calendar of Peter Crouch with his head cropped off, has already seen hundreds of sales of his new release - despite only having printed one calendar so far.
He said: 'The Jack Grealish calendars are flying off the shelves. I've sold about 400 copies so far; the women can't seem to get enough.
'There's been a lot of blokes buying the calendar too, I reckon it's for a Christmas present for their girlfriends.

'I focused on his calves because they're a feature you could recognise instantly. His calves are colossal.
'He still wears his childhood shin pads out of superstition, and always rolls his socks down.
'If the question came up on a quiz show, even if you don't like football, everyone would know whose calves they were.
'I'm pretty certain that even Jack Grealish himself has said that big calves run in the family.'

Despite the its popularity, Kevin has received some backlash on his peculiar calendar.
He said: 'I've had one woman message me saying it was disgusting to have a calendar full of calves.
'I even had a woman complain to me that she had just received Jack Grealish Unofficial 2022 calendar when she wanted the one of his calves.
'I had to explain to her that she'd never ordered from me, as I only do the calendar of his calves, it would be funny if I outsold the Calendar Club and their calendar though.

'The place where I go to get them printed off are a bit fed up with all the orders I'm putting through now. When I ring up to place an order, the receptionist usually just sighs at me.'
He added: 'It's definitely a bit of a controversial calendar, but it's all about the fun of it.
'I see myself as an artist, and all of my calendars have been unique. My work ends up on people's walls, just like a painting.'
