May 21, 2021 Sergio Aguero: From ‘Worst Trainer In The World’ To Man City ‘Icon’

Asked to describe Sergio Aguero in one word, Jermaine Jenas, Micah Richards and Nedum Onuoha provide answers that say it all.

He has five Premier League titles, one FA Cup, six League Cup triumphs and, on 29 May, has the chance to add a Champions League medal to his collection.

His individual numbers are possibly even more impressive. He is City's all-time leading goalscorer. He has the best minutes-to-goals ratio in Premier League history. He has more Premier League hat-tricks than anyone else. He is the top overseas goal scorer in league history. And he is fourth in the Premier League all-time scorers list.

Now, with this season confirmed as his last at the club, former City team-mates Richards and Onuoha join ex-Tottenham and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas - and a few others - on a BBC Radio 5 Live special to discuss Aguero's impact and the legacy he is leaving behind.

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards:From the moment he came through the door, you are in awe. You have that feeling of 'wow'. The only other time I had that was when Robinho came through the door. For us growing up, Shaun Goater or Nicolas Anelka was a big thing - so when Aguero comes through the door, you can't believe this is happening.

He was the worst trainer in the history of training. He had that laid-back style. Aguero would just walk around. Sometimes he wouldn't even have his boots tied up. But the moment it came to the finishing, it was game over. I thought he was going to be sensational but when I trained with him I thought 'have we made a mistake here?' I thought Tevez was better - but then he makes his debut…

The fans just erupted when he came on and it was like a genuine superstar here. You can't write it and from them I knew we had signed a player.

I was there for four years with him. With Aguero, you don't associate him with being a superstar in terms of how he was off the pitch. He was the most humble person ever.

"King". "Magical". "Inspirational".
