How different could things have been if the Aston Villa stalwart had turned out for Nigeria?
It could all have been so different for Gabriel Agbonlahor.
His decision to retire at the age of 32 a week ago came as a surprise, but this is a player who, all things considered, never quite fulfilled on his initial promise.
Those first shoots of potential meant he had the pick of three countries when it came time to pledge his international allegiance: Scotland (from his mother who left him at the age of two), Nigeria (from his father) and England (the country of his birth) all had a claim.
