Agbonlahor gets death threat
When explaining what went down to his co-hosts, Agbonlahor said in jest: “I was getting death threats off teenage girls:
Aston Villa's former striker, Gabby Agbonlahor said he was sent death threats after he injured Louis Tomlinson during a charity match.
The pair were pitted against each other in an unlikely match-up in 2013 for Agbonlahor's ex-Aston Villa team-mate Stilyan Petrov’s foundation to raise money for leukaemia sufferers.''
Tomlinson subsequently left the pitch to vomit shortly after half-time following Agbonlahor's ferocious challenge.
But even though Tomlinson couldn't defend himself - his army of adoring teenage girls had no intention of letting Agbonlahor get off the hook easily.
And while reflecting on the incident with talkSPORT colleagues Ally McCoist and Laura Woods, Agbonlahor jokingly revealed that he had to get out of the Scottish region before the furious Directioners got their hands on him.
When explaining what went down to his co-hosts, Agbonlahor said in jest: “I was getting death threats off teenage girls: ‘How dare you touch my Louis Tomlinson?’
“I was like, ‘right let’s get out of here, Glasgow Airport, let me escape in one piece!”
But Agbonlahor doesn't get what all the fuss was about as he reckons he only gave Tomlinson a conventional shoulder barge.
He then went on to claim that the platinum-selling artist only went down in a heap because he was drinking the night before.
He added: “I think because he’d been drinking the night before in the hotel, obviously he was a bit hungover so he was sick by the side of the pitch."
However, Agbonlahor's fellow football compatriot's - former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill and The Bhoys' legend striker Henrik Larsson didn't agree.
Agbonlahor also revealed that the pair also gave him an earful after the game and Larsson demanded that he apologised to Tomlinson.
The Premier League veteran said: "Martin O’Neill wasn’t happy.
“But I remember after the game, Ally, I got a good telling off from Henrik Larsson.”
McCoist was clearly enthralled by Agbonlahor's depiction of events and added: "Was Henrik wanting you to apologise?
To which Agbonlahor responded: "Yeah, well he wasn’t happy. I was like, ‘calm down, Henrik’.”
The amused McCoist rounded off their exchange with: "Love it.”
