Matty Cash stars in brilliantly bizarre Polish advert for new Peaky Blinders film

Footage of Aston Villa and Poland star Matty Cash starring in a Peaky Blinders promotional video has gone viral on social media.

Cash, 28, was brought on in the 74th minute as Villa beat French club Lille in the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League 2-0 on aggregate.

Looking ahead, Unai Emery's men will take on Italian Serie A side Bologna in the quarter-final.

On Friday, a video went viral on social media, featuring Cash, who was promoting the latest instalment of the popular show, Peaky Blinders, for Netflix Poland.

Dressed in a similar outfit as Peaky Blinders' main character, Tommy Shelby, Cash was heard saying: "Six seasons in Birmingham. It changes a man. Now I take better care of my business. I don't play for suits. My suits are on the house, or the house burns down."

Aside from Cash, there was also an appearance from Polish referee Szymon Marciniak, who said: "Cash, Cash is different. Never argues, he just stares at you."

The scene starring Marciniak and Cash involved a VAR penalty call on the pitch.

Reacting on social media, one fan praised Netflix's choice to use Cash to promote a show based in Birmingham to viewers in Poland, the user said: "He’s advertising for Netflix in Poland, he’s a Polish international and plays for Aston Villa, a team in Birmingham, which guess what? Is where Peaky Blinders is set. It’s opportunistic marketing."

So confused.

Another tweeted: "This is gold."

A third fan added: "The city is ours!"

Someone else wrote: "Man of many talents Mr Matty Cash."

Despite being born in Slough, England, Cash is eligible to play for the Polish national team through his mother.

Back in 2021, the full-back applied for a Polish passport and he became a citizen on October 26, 2021 in Warsaw.

In November 2021, Cash made his debut for Poland during a 4-1 win over Andorra.

Since then, the 28-year-old has made 23 appearances for Poland, scoring four goals in the process.

Cash and Villa will be back in Premier League action this weekend when they take on West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.
