Aston Villa striker Agbonlahor pays emotional tribute to Super Eagles goalkeeper

Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor on Saturday, August 5 paid tribute to Super Eagles goalkeeper Carl Ikeme who is battling acute leukaemia.

After scoring for Aston Villa in the Championship game, Agbonlahor held up a shirt with a photo of Ikeme.

Ikeme was diagnosed with acute leukaemia during pre-season testing at Wolverhampton Wanderers and has since started chemotherapy.


“It was nice to score for my friend Carl Ikeme, who’s suffering from leukaemia, so it was a big day for me,” Agbonlahor said after the game.

“Get Well Soon, Thinking of You.”

Ikeme has received wild spread support since his acute leukaemia diagnoses.



From the goalkeepers’ union, the likes of David de Gea, Petr Cech, Iker Casillas, Thibaut Courtois, Shey Given, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ben Foster, Jack Butland, Asmir Begovic, Loris Karius and a host of other shot-stoppers sent their prayers to Ikeme.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart also paid him a visit.
