Gabriel Agbonlahor: 'I'll apologise to Louis'

Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor has suggested that he plans to offer an apology to One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson after injuring him with a tackle during a charity match in honour of leukaemia survivor Stiliyan Petrov.

According to the Metro, the injury to the boyband star has led to a strong reaction from his fans on twitter, with some aiming " death threats " at Agbonlahor.

Agbonlahor told reporters: "It was just one of those things. I'll apologise to Louis when we meet up with everybody else after the game.

"I know he enjoyed playing in the game and it's fantastic that he took time out to be here, and the same with everybody who played.

"It was a fabulous day for Stiliyan Petrov and for Celtic and their respective charities. It's great to see all the people who came here to play in the game and all the fans who turned up to support such a worthy cause.

"I know Stiliyan is really grateful and appreciative and that's what today's all about."

A crowd of more than 60,000 showed up at Celtic Park as they witnessed the Stiliyan XI beat Celtic XI by a score of 5-3.
