This is an amazing video because it’s the only one of him I’ve seen which includes the moment I realised he was truly special, which was the end of August in his first season, we played Watford, and KDB played a headed through ball.

I’ve never seen anyone do it before or since. The ball was in the air, and he saw the pass to Aguero but realised the only way to play it in time was with his head, if he’d tried to volley it or take a touch the gap would have closed.

It’s right on 4 mins in this video, he just heads it perfectly behind the defence and into Agueros path 20 yards away.

I knew then he was on another level.
In some ways his rep suffers because modern football is so fast. He's such a great athlete, and has to play so quickly, that some of his finest moments are over in the blink of an eye.

It's only when the ball hits the net, that we can take a pause, and I think that makes the best goalscorers stand out more than perhaps they should.

You look back at Ballon D'or winners in the pre-Messi/Ronaldo era, and it seems incredible that he doesn't have that particular bauble on his shelf.
