Ten years ago on May 13, 2012, Argentine superstar Sergio Aguero scored the most famous goal in Premier League history.

As the ball hit the back of the Queen’s Park Rangers’ net it won Manchester City their first English top flight crown in more than 40 years, broke the hearts of neighbours Manchester United and immortalised the striker, who went on to become one of the greatest goalscorers in English football.

The goal stopped the clock at 93:20; it spawned a hospitality suite at the Etihad Stadium, myriad memes and gifs, memorabilia, books and documentaries.

And now, a decade on and with no fewer than four more Premier League titles in the trophy room, City are ready to celebrate the 10-year anniversary in style.

City are, of course, still embroiled in a fearsome contest for this year’s No 1 spot with arch-rivals Liverpool, but that clash of the titans will be shoved to one side temporarily as the class of 2011/12 are lauded for kick-starting the most successful 10 years in club history.

Friday the 13th will also be the day that Sergio Aguero’s statue, No 16 shirt twirling around his head, is unveiled outside the Etihad Stadium.

The statue is the work of Philadelphia based Scotsman Andy Scott, who was also commissioned to produce works depicting David Silva and Vincent Kompany that already adorn the entrance to the Etihad Stadium. Other sporting works of the sculptor are based in
