As a striker he is incomparable in our history, as a person he is humble, quiet, reserved, shy even. He has never been in the headlines for stuff away from the pitch, he has been loyal and loved. He quite rightly deserves his place in the pantheon of PL greats, up there with Henry and Shearer as the great strikers. He has created moments that will live forever in our history and he has been lauded by the great and good in the game from pundit to commentator, players to coaches.
Where though does he stand in my regard, he is not my favourite player, but that place will never be taken, I do not think he has been our most influential player of this era either, that belongs to others. Maybe I underestimate him, but an Aguero in a rubbish team wins you nothing, Aguero in a great team wins you trophies. Maybe because I am older I do not have the childlike reverence I saw in my friends 7 year old sons face when he first saw him, but I was the same when I first saw the King. Sergio was not the reason I spent my money to go to matches, but he often made the money I paid well worth every penny, He was the right lad at the right time for us, in that respect he was lucky, he joined a club that was progressive, full of ambition and he fulfilled that ambition and more. He gave us moments none of us will ever forget, yet he did so in an understated manner.
He leaves at the right time, with his head held high, our love in his heart and our thanks for being simply Sergio, the greatest striker in our history.
