Just so Southstand should be renamed the Sergio stand in my opinion. Up to the club though. Hope so.
I'm usually not for this sort of thing but then I started asking myself "if not Sergio then who?"
He scored the most famous goal in the history of the club, maybe even the most famous goal in modern English football history, and is statistically and by the fans considered our greatest ever striker. He won the first PL title and our first top division title for decades against our biggest rivals in the last second of the last kick of the game.
If this doesn't earn him the right to name that end of the ground after him then I don't know who will ever achieve that honour or how.
What Kompany and Silva have done made them legends. Great, great players who are up there with the finest to ever wear the shirt in any generation. But in the next 100 years of our future then we're going to have a lot of good players some of whom might even have a greater relationship with the fans or be one club men, and they can take their place with Kompany and Silva statues. But what Sergio did will never be done again and will still be spoken about by ALL football fans, not just City fans decades from now. It is a bonafide legendary moment in a world that overuses that term. Renaming the generic named stand to something with more personality for our greatest ever striker in his greatest ever moment seems fitting.

100% this, what Sergio did is unlikely to ever be surpassed anywhere in football.
Come on, final push!
