Aguero shirt on sale next week

It prompted legendary commentator Martin Tyler's Agueroooo! line, which remains a memorable moment.

According to Sky Sports, the jersey will go up on sale on 3rd November at Hansons Auctioneers in Etwall, England.

Hansons' head of sports memorabilia, David Wilson-Turner said Aguero's goal will go down in history for Man City.

"It was arguably the most important goal in the club's history. Former Manchester City player Mario Balotelli asked Aguero for the shirt as a souvenir but left it behind with his bag."

According to Wilson-Turner, the jersey was obtained by a former Man City kitman who donated it to the National Football Shirt Collection

Collection owner said he will sell it for charity.

"I never planned to sell it but my curator is currently undergoing medical treatment. The auction proceeds will be shared between him and two charities important to him, Testicular Cancer UK and the Stroke Association."

Aguero won 15 major trophies with Manchester City in 10 years, with the club scoring an impressive 184 goals in 275 Premier League matches. The Argentine was forced into early retirement in 2021 due to health problems.

Aguero dropped by Guardiola

Sports Brief earlier reported on Aguero being dropped by Man City manager Pep Guardiola for being overweight.

Aguero explained that even if one had exceeded his ideal weight by 100 grams, Guardiola was unforgiving.

Aguero will go down as one of the league's greatest strikers.
