Summarised by MatchPal
Agbonlahor hit back at Carragher, Neville and Keane's criticism on The Overlap, defending his passion for Aston Villa and questioning their own playing careers.
Gabby Agbonlahor responded to criticism from The Overlap pundits who suggested he cares more about Aston Villa as a pundit than he did during his 391 appearances for the club between 2005 and 2018.
Carragher, Neville and Keane had mocked Agbonlahor on Thursday's episode, with Carragher claiming he "didn't even run" when he played. Agbonlahor defended himself on talkSPORT, saying he regularly targeted Neville and Carragher during matches and posted video evidence of outpacing them.
He also took aim at Roy Keane, calling him a "fantastic player" but "terrible coach" who "walked out of Villa like he walked out of Republic of Ireland."
Agbonlahor acknowledged making mistakes as a player but insisted he loved Aston Villa throughout his career. He also noted that Carragher had apologised after threatening legal action over comments about Unai Emery potentially leaving Villa for Manchester United.
