Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor says he still draws inspiration from past Villans heroes.
Agbonlahor - now in his tenth Barclays Premier League season at B6 - says a number of the then first- team players he looked up to as a youngster at Bodymoor Heath still inspire him to this day.
He told Villa's website: "When I was growing up I loved watching Juan Pablo Angel- I looked up to him a lot.
"But - being Birmingham born and bred, local players like Lee Hendrie also used to inspire me.
"As a striker, I also looked up to Darius Vassell - who was local and in my position.
"All those players were big for me in my development."
