Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealis says last year's Euros was a special experience.
Whilst he was denied a fairy-tale ending by an agonising penalty shootout defeat to Italy, Grealish cherishes the memories of his first major tournament.
“It was unbelievable," he said.
“Have you ever heard the quote that you don't realise how big or how good something is until it's gone? That's [the case] with me.
“Now, I look back on it and — I swear — it was unbelievable. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
“It was just brilliant, England were so good to us, they did everything to make us feel at home at our hotel and at our camp.
“It was just the best six weeks ever. I absolutely loved it.
“Obviously, it was a shame that we couldn't get over the last hurdle in the final and, obviously, losing on penalties is the worst way to lose. It's the best way to win but the worst way to lose.
“Looking back, there are a few regrets that we couldn't get over the line, but I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to play at a major tournament for my country."
