Gabriel Agbonlahor Received Death Threats After Clattering One Direction Star Louis Tomlinson In Charity Game

Gabriel Agbonlahor says he received death threats from teenage girls after 'shoulder-barging' into One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson.

In the 52nd minute, Tomlinson picked up the ball on the outside of his area when, out of nowhere, the pacey Agbonlahor clattered into his opponent and sent him crashing to the ground.

Around 60,000 supporters attended the charity game at Parkhead that day - and a large section of those were Tomlinson's fan base. You can actually hear the screams as he tumbled over.

Eight years later and Agbonlahor has revealed that former Celtic striker Henrik Larsson was fuming about the moment - and even asked him to apologise to Tomlinson after the full-time whistle.

He reflected on the incident in a recent chat with talkSPORT, saying: “It was a game for Petrov’s charity. It was just a normal shoulder barge and because he’d been drinking the night before in the hotel he was a bit hungover.

“He was sick on the side of the pitch and Martin O’Neill wasn’t happy. After the game I got a telling off of Henrik Larsson.

"He was like ‘you have to apologise, come on. You don’t do that’.

“I was like ‘sorry mate I didn’t mean to’. It was a charity game yes but you don’t lose that edge do you?

“He wasn’t happy and I was like ‘calm down Henrik'."

He continued: “I was getting death threats off teenage girls. They were going ‘how dare you touch my Louis Tomlinson’ and I was just like ‘get me out of here’. [I was off to] Glasgow Airport, [thinking] let me escape in one piece.”
