Gabby Agbonlahor has revealed he lavished \u00a3200,000 on a super-car after a string of \u2018chavvy\u2019 purchases at the start of his playing career.<\/p>\n
The former striker spent his entire career at boyhood club Aston Villa, where he broke through as a teenager. Signing his first professional contract was a big deal for Agbonlahor, who marked his new-found wealth by splashing the cash on clothes for himself and his mates.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was quite chavvy back then and remember going with my best friend to the Lacoste shop,\u201d Agbonlahor, now a radio pundit, said on talkSPORT.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I got a new car. I remember getting a Golf, [I] bought it off my friend\u2019s dad. It was a bit like 'wow', going from \u00a380-a-week, which was my scholarship deal for two years, to then a grand-and-a-half. I was like 'wow', what a change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The purchases eventually became more extravagant as he upgraded his motor, although he didn\u2019t keep it for long.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was a Lamborghini Aventador," he recalled. "I remember scaring my little daughter with it [because It was so fast]. I think she was probably three or four, bless her. I was scaring her, she was crying in the car.<\/p>\n
