There are some players you just couldn’t envisage playing for certain clubs.

For example, Gary Neville would never play for Liverpool and Steven Gerrard would never play for Manchester United, you get the idea.

For Aston Villa supporters an example of this would be imagining Gabriel Agbonlahor in a Birmingham City kit.

However, not many will have known that the Blues attempted to poach the striker from their closest rivals when he was just 16.

Indeed, the former England striker posted on his Instagram story to inform his followers that Birmingham City once wanted to sign him.

It’s clear to see that by Agbonlahor’s choice of emoji he was dead against the transfer, as he hints that the thought of a move to St Andrew’s makes him sick – yet another reason for the Villa Park faithful to adore him.

Instead, his career took a slightly different path as he led the line for the Villans for over a decade, scoring five goals in seven appearances against the team that wanted to sign him as a teenager.
