About Gabriel Agbonlahor

Gabriel Imuetinyan Agbonlahor is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward; he mostly played as a striker, but he was also capable of playing on the wing. He spent his entire professional career with Aston Villa, with loan spells at Watford and Sheffield Wednesday in his late teens.
