The talkSPORT host spent no less than 13 years as a Villa forward, having also grown up as a staunch supporter of the midlands club.
He scored an impressive 87 goals during his 391 appearan But the goals he is most proud of from that selection are the ones he scored against his club’s longstanding rivals: Birmingham City.
Naturally, the thought of ever playing for his rivals during his career was an idea he could not even fathom.
“You know what’s funny?” Agbonlahor told Drivetime host Andy Goldstein. “When I was going to retire, I remember speaking to my friend.
“He asked, would you go to Birmingham City if they offered you 100 grand a week? And he was being deadly serious.
“I was like, what are you talking about? Not a prayer!
“And he said, you’re stupid. We had a full-on argument on the phone. I said what are you talking about? I’ll fall out with you.
“It’s not an option – not for 100 grand a week, 200 grand a week. Money’s not everything.
