Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor went on a laughing gas and booze binge on the day his club were relegated from the Premier League. Agbonlahor, 29, was pictured partying in a hotel room with pals and two girl fans — the carpet littered with cans of legal high nitrous oxide. Later the £60,000-a-week striker was seen downing shots and horsing around with hangers-on at London’s Mayfair Hotel. Agbonlahor was left out of the Villa side who were relegated hours earlier by a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, because he is overweight and unfit. The star, dubbed Flabby Gabby, is supposed to be on a personal fitness regime. His antics on Saturday night infuriated the club’s supporters who saw them on social media. One said: “Just looking at it turns my stomach. It’s a real slap in the face for Villa fans. “If I was captain of a team that has just been relegated I’d be hiding myself away in shame.”

UPDATE: Aston Villa have suspended striker Gabby Agbonlahor pending an investigation.
