Footballer injures 1D Member: Receives death threats
Quote:
Stiliyan Petrov is a Celtic and Aston Villa legend who has been fighting leukaemia. Today, he returned to the pitch for his first and likely final time since being diagnosed, in order to raise money for the new charity foundation which he will dedicate the rest of his life to, helping others to overcome cancer.
In this charity game, many of his former teammates and friends, along with a couple celebrities, played in front of a capacity 60,000 crowd at Celtic Park.
One if those celebrities was One Direction's Louis Tomlinson.
Here is a version of events from a 'One Directioner':
It was a fair challenge from the Villa man, but Tomlinson was injured and his notoriously, er, over-excited fans took to Twitter to send Agbonlahor abuse and threats -even though the account in question appears to be a fake.
One fan told Agbonlahor she would "chop his balls off," while another threatened to kill him if he didn't apologise.
@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.

On leaving the pitch, the boyband star then vomited - further provoking the ire of his loyal band of internet abusers.
Wow that's really messed up poor Louis no one deserves that.
Getting booed while playing for charity wow.

I doubt the footballer purposefully injured him those children need to stop
I feel bad for him. A few boos at the VMAs is okay but an entire stadium booing him all at once and all the time? That's just not fair or nice. He didn't even do anything to prompt that? He was at the soccer game for charity so why would TONS of people be that nasty to him?
I'm not even a fan but if the booing stuff is true, then i'm really sorry that happened to him. He's literally not doing anything wrong but people are just so ruthless sometimes. And then that picture of him smiling before the game is really heartbreaking to see because he didn't know what was coming
