Sick as a parrot: One Direction fans tweet premier ace death threats after crunching tackle that made Louis Tomlinson throw up



Footballer Gabriel Agbonlahor has felt the wrath of One Direction's fanatical fans.

The premier ace received death threats from irate One Direction fans after flying into a challenge with pop star Louis Tomlinson at Stiliyan Petrov's charity match.

The Aston Villa forward left the boyband member in a heap on the floor, with Tomlinson - who signed for Championship side Doncaster for charity last month - vomiting after the tackle.

Furious fans took to Twitter to condemn Agbonlahor, with one posting: '@gabby_10 This guy hurt Louis knee. I shall hurt your face. I better hear that you apologized or I will find you, and I will kill you.'

When manager Martin O'Neill was asked about the condition of Tomlinson he said: 'Agbonlahor smashed into him and he picked himself up and he was ill at the dressing room area.

'He has rushed off now but I think he is fine - he doesn't know where he is but I think he is fine.'

'I know he enjoyed playing in the game and it's fantastic that he took time out to be here, and the same with everyone else who played.' However, some football fans took to the social networking site to praise Agbonlahor - who has played for England three times - but he later apologised for the tackle.

Several stars including Westlife's Nicky Byrne, Glasvegas singer James Allan and comedian John Bishop played in the spectacle. Last month, Louis signed up to be a professional soccer player by joining his hometown club Doncaster Rovers as a non-contract player. He is expected to appear for the club's development side this season in order to raise money for children's charity Bluebell Wood. 1D: Louis Tomlinson shows off his Celtic strip before the game
