Shirt worn by Man City’s Sergio Aguero when he scored Premier League-winning goal to net £20,000 at auction
THE shirt worn by Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero when he scored a Premier League-winning goal is set to net £20,000.
The Argentine joyously peeled off the No16 top after his last-gasp goal clinched a 3-2 victory over QPR to ensure City won the 2011/12 title.
TV commentator Martin Tyler exclaimed “Aguerooo” as he scored in the fourth minute of added time on the final day of the season.
Now the unwashed shirt — still sporting champagne stains from post-match celebrations — is going under the hammer.
It was obtained by a City kitman, who later donated it for museum display.
It is expected to fetch between £15,000 and £20,000 for charity when it is sold by Hansons Auctioneers on November 3. Sergio, 34, is also known as Kun Aguero — the name on the back of his shirt.
