Jack Grealish playing for Everton and Alan Brazil speaking on talkSPORT
There has been no shortage of coverage surrounding the Manchester City loanee in recent weeks.
He hasn't featured competitively for the Toffees in nearly a month after a disciplinary issue.
It is reported that he missed training and that prompted David Moyes to axe him for the two meetings with Newcastle, and one with Coventry City.
The 31-year-old is now back among the Blues squad and even featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Derby County on Thursday.
Grealish has now apologised for his actions and has been urged not to waste a second chance by Brazil.
Alan Brazil sends direct address to Jack Grealish on talkSPORT
There is no hiding from the fact that the ex-England international is a favourite throughout the country.
It isn't just his former clubs that appreciate him, but many fans of many clubs everywhere.
That is largely due to his personality and the way that he comes across as a pretty normal person despite his career as a footballer.
Sometimes that gets in the way and prompts him to come under fire for his behaviour away from the pitch, as it has in recent weeks.
That is exactly why Brazil has spoken out to urge Grealish to buck up his ideas rather than risking his career.
Speaking live via talkSPORT on Friday, the iconic broadcaster said: "From what I hear, and by the way, I love Jack, I like his style and the way he plays, he’s got a bit of a problem going out. We’re all different, we’re all made different, I’ve had my problems.
"I believe Jack missed a couple of days training, but that’s Jack. What he’s got to realise, he’s getting a bit older and there’s kids coming through at Everton who are loving it.
"Jack, you get away with this one and you’ll get one last chance. Take it please. Take it."
What has Grealish said in apology to Everton fans?
Brazil is spot on, this could well be the last mistake the attacker gets to make at Finch Farm.
It will be down to the loanee himself to decide whether he takes advantage of it, or throws the chance up the wall.
That will all come in time, but for the time being, he is promising Everton fans that things will be different.
Taking to his Instagram story on Thursday, he wrote: "Nice to be back out there with the boys today after a few good days training.
"I want to apologise to the fans and everyone at the club for not being able to help the team the last few weeks.
"I love playing infront of you guys and can't wait to be back playing infront of you guys in an Everton shirt. See you all soon."
That is all well and good, but only if he takes Brazil's words and sticks by them.
It may be the last time David Moyes gives him another chance.
