\"Sergio-Aguero-Icons-Signing-Session-December-2015\"<\/p>\n

Few goals in Premier League<\/a> history have been as dramatic, as historically-significant, or as crucial to an individual player’s legacy as Sergio Aguero’s<\/a> last-gasp title-winning strike for Manchester City<\/a> on the final day of the 2011-12 season.\u00a0That’s why, whatever this man does from now until the end of his time at the Etihad, he will always have a place in the hearts of City’s<\/a> supporters.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regardless, Aguero<\/a> continues to add to his legacy at Manchester City<\/a>, as each passing season he adds more goals to his already overflowing tally, cementing his place among\u00a0Europe’s most deadly strikers.\u00a0In fact, there are few out-and-out strikers like him in world football today. Diminutive in stature, yet strong and agile, Aguero<\/a> is one of the most astute finishers in the game.

\nSo, on December 18th 2015, on a bitterly cold and wet winter day just outside of Manchester, Icons<\/a> met the man himself for a private signing session.\u00a0The Argentine forward has a reputation for being somewhat of a cheeky chap \u2013 a man who always has a smile on his face and a boyish charm to his character.\u00a0The Icons<\/a> team found that to be spot on, as Sergio<\/a> arrived at our session chirpy and chatty and ready to sign our wide range of Manchester City<\/a> and Argentina shirts and photos, boots and balls.<\/p>\n

We found Sergio<\/a> was in particularly good spirits because of his impending return to first team action. The striker had been sidelined for four matches with an injury to his heel and revealed to our team his delight and excitement at being back in training, with an eye on the weekend’s crunch Premier League<\/a> fixture with Arsenal. Joking away, Sergio<\/a> also told us of his childhood love for teams that play in red. Though it seems ironic to hear now, Aguero<\/a> began his career with his red-clad hometown club, Independiente, way back at the start of a professional career that is now closing in\u00a0some thirteen years in duration.<\/p>\n

Before adding his autograph to a photo of his first major European triumph, the 2010 UEFA Europa League\u00a0victory while at Atletico Madrid<\/a>, Sergio<\/a> happily signed a variety of excellent products that are available to buy right now on icons.com<\/a>. Before\u00a0sharing with our team his love for the NBA \u2013 and particular admiration for the league’s MVP, Steph Curry, and his team, the Golden State Warriors \u2013 Sergio<\/a> began signing Manchester City memorabilia<\/a>, namely 2015-16 home shirts, photos of his best performances for the Citizens<\/a> and, of course, the 2011-12 home shirt.<\/p>\n

This was the shirt in which Sergio<\/a> scored his most famous goal to date and etched his name into Premier League<\/a> history. Scoring in the dying seconds of City’s<\/a> final match in the 2011-12 season<\/a> to defeat Queens Park Rangers<\/a> 3-2 and snatch the title off City’s<\/a> rivals Manchester United<\/a>, Aguero<\/a> earned hero status and ended the Sky Blues’<\/a>\u00a044-year wait for topflight glory. Along\u00a0with memorable photos of that famous day, Sergio’s<\/a> signed shirt looks fantastic framed \u2013 a superb gift for any true City<\/a> fan.<\/p>\n
