Gabby Agbonlahor’s Unbreakable Loyalty: Why He’ll Never Let His Kids Represent Birmingham City
As a one-club man, Gabriel Agbonlahor’s dedication to Aston Villa is unparalleled. The former striker, who spent nearly two decades at Villa Park, has always been a true blue. In a recent chat with talkSPORT, Agbonlahor revealed the one club he would never allow his children to represent – and it’s not exactly a surprise.
The 37-year-old came through the youth ranks at Villa and went on to score 86 goals in 391 appearances for the club, becoming their record Premier League goalscorer. He even turned down a reported £100,000-a-week offer to join local rivals Birmingham City, as told by his friend. "I said what are you talking about? Not a prayer!" Agbonlahor exclaimed.
But Agbonlahor’s loyalty knows no bounds. When discussing the prospect of his children playing for Birmingham City, he was adamant. "If Birmingham City phoned me and said I want to sign one of your kids, I’d say no thanks. Not a prayer!" This level of dedication is a testament to his unwavering commitment to the Villains.
It’s not uncommon for parents to want their children to follow in their footsteps, but Agbonlahor’s stance is refreshingly honest. "Money’s not everything," he emphasized, a sentiment that resonates with many football fans. As a proud Aston Villa man, Agbonlahor knows that his children’s happiness and success come first, regardless of the team they play for.
So, to all the Villa fans out there, take heart in knowing that Gabby’s kids will never don the blue and white of Birmingham City. It’s a comforting thought, indeed.
