Twitter troller who taunted Grealish about his dead baby brother is hit by a car

A cruel teenager who trolled England footballer Jack Grealish over the cot death of his baby brother has suffered a fractured skull after being hit by a car.

Alfie Perkins, 19, dodged jail last month despite being convicted for berating the Premier League ace with sickening abuse online.

And he recently took to Twitter again to share photos of his bloodied face peppered with grisly gashes from the supposed accidental car smash.

Perkins, of Chelmsley Wood, Solihull, wrote: 'Life comes at you nearly as fast as speeding cars that don't stop on red lights do.

'Didn't think it was possible for me to get any uglier but here we are with my face drooping to the right and the left side of it not working, you not reckon it's time I caught a break.'

Responding to the tweet, one person suggested his injuries were karma for the vile taunts he volleyed at Grealish in March this year.

But Perkins replied: 'Leg it bruv, karma for laughing at somebody being dead is not fracturing your skull in two places hahaha.'

After draining nine pints of beer, the boozed-up Birmingham City fan used the death of the Aston Villa's star's brother Keelan in a spiteful slew of hate messages after Grealish slotted in the winning goal in the West Midlands derby game.

He wrote: 'He might've scored but it'll never bring his dead brother back and that gives me more satisfaction hahahaha.'

Perkins even stooped so low as to post a picture of the dead boy's headstone in the tweet.

Another tweet composed by Perkins said: 'Grealish went down quicker than his brother got lowered into the grave.'

In court last month, the University of Salford student denied charges but was found guilty of sending offensive messages.

Perkins was arrested on March 13 and told police he had been 'encouraged' to post the tweets by those around him at the game.

He said he had been banned from Blues matches for life and had written to Grealish to apologise.

Perkins said: 'I had nine pints, I started at 7am and the kick off was 12pm.

'The pubs in the city centre opened at 7am that day.'

He said he found the picture of Grealish's brother's gravestone on social media and described it as 'banter with friends'.

John McGregor, defending told Birmingham Magistrates the teenager was just 'reacting to what was going on' at the match.

He said: 'He hasn't conducted a hate campaign against Grealish. The tweet spread like wildfire, he never intended to put it beyond his group of friends.'

Perkins was fined £120, ordered to pay £200 court costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

The chairwoman of the bench said magistrates had taken into account his 'age and immaturity' and the fact he'd drinking.

She told him: 'I think being banned from life from watching your favourite football team is a punishment in itself.'
