SERGIO AGUERO may be gone but he will not be forgotten at Manchester City next season.
And he will still be breathing down the neck of Harry Kane – or any other forward brought to the Etihad to replace him.
The Argentinian striker’s most iconic goal – the one against QPR back in May 2012 – is a key part of his former club’s new home kit.
The PUMA shirt includes graphics of a digital clock showing “93:20” – the time when Aguero struck to clinch a first Premier League title for City on that unforgettable day.
The club will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the most famous moment in the competition’s history during the coming season – and wanted to mark the occasion.
Micah Richards – who was in that title-winning squad – said: “Witnessing that moment is something I will never forget.
“When the goal went in, we knew we had just seen greatness, something special.
“The league was hanging in the balance and then to secure it in the final minute, in that fashion, I don’t think will ever be replicated.
“The new kit is a perfect tribute to one of the greatest moments in City’s history”.
Aguero – who was the club’s all-time leading goalscorer – brought the curtain down on his 10 years at City in May when he left to join Barcelona.

Champions City will also return to sky blue shorts and hooped socks to go with the new shirt.
The jersey combines 100% recycled polyester with advanced PUMA dryCELL thermoregulation technology to ensure uncompromising fit and mobility while keeping the athlete dry and comfortable.
It also integrates an ultra-light jacquard structure into the back of the jersey to enhance breathability during intense performance.
The new Manchester City home kit will be available from July 14 at PUMA.com, PUMA stores, Etihad Stadium Store, mancity.com/shop and at select retailers worldwide.
