Sergio Aguero announces his retirement | A thread to pay tribute

[MCFC1993]

Hit the ground running and never stopped, a shame how it ended but what a career he has had, an all time great striker.

Funny hearing Alan Smith say 'How many goals might he get in a sky blue shirt?'

Just the 260!

A great picture and well done to BM for using it.

Thank you Serio for so many wonderful memories and goals. A true legend of this club and of football. Not just withy the way you played but wit the way you conducted yourself.

I’m sure that Sky pundits would have said….”Shinned it”

Hit and hope.

Absolute Legend, we will never see a better striker at City period. All the best Kun, hope you live and long and happy life, we will hopefully see you at the ground once or twice a year at the very least!

A picture that shows just how much he was loved and admired within the game.

The reaction from players, current and former, from all over the globe to his retirement show you what a player he was.

I’ve only just seen the clip of his tears. Heartbreaking to see. Then I saw Mancini’s Twitter, where he’s pinned a clip of 93:20. A young man who changed our club, gave us ten of the best years any player could give us, then to see him hunched up like that yesterday looking tired and quite lost.

Love you, Kun. Thank you.

World class, simply the best. He needed just one chance in big games. Be could to see him back at a City game in the future.

If you’re a blue it chokes you up that, could say what’s already been said but I’ll leave it to Carly...... legend and put us where we belong

Along with David, Yaya, Kompany, Zaba and others, he didn't just make us relevant he helped us to become the most dominant side in English football over the last ten years. The number of goals he scored against the so called big six is absolutely insane and if we ever needed a goal in a game like that it was invariably Kun who scored it. Everything about him is just pure class and he definitely deserved to retire on his own terms so for me this happening is quite sickening.

I don't think I will ever make the noise I made when he scored 'that' goal. It was a primal sound that came from the pits of my soul and seemed to be a release of the 35 years of following City which had been filled with frustration, desperation and on occasion utter humiliation. But he was so much more than that goal and for a decade he led the line of our team with passion, commitment and a ruthlessness in front of goal that in my opinion will never be surpassed for a long time.

The club should do everything they can to honour this great man, statue, stand named after him and if he is interested a job for life. Since the 14th of May 2012 my profile on this forum has stated that I'm usually watching it or drinking it in and that will be the case till my dying day.

Sergio 'Kun' Aguero I will always salute you. Legend.
