Sergio Agüero's shirt worn when he scored Man City's famous title winning goal in 2012, still covered in Champagne stains from the celebrations, is going under the hammer - and could fetch as much as £30,000. It's one of several items of memorabilia from some of the most iconic moments in Premier League history that are been auctioned off for charity later this month.
Other lots include Eric Cantona's shirt from Man United's humiliating 3-1 defeat to Southampton in 1996 when the side changed the notorious grey away strip at half time and the boots worn by Wayne Rooney when he scored his first Premier League goal against Arsenal in 2002 aged just 16.

Patrick Vieira’s Arsenal shirt he wore during the infamous game at Highbury when the French midfielder had a fracas in the tunnel with his rival Roy Keane is also among the more than 350 lots.
The auction, to raise money to help testicular cancer and stroke charities, will include hundreds of signed pictures and boots by stars such as David Beckham and John Terry, plus shirts, programmes and tickets through the decades.
The shirt worn by Agüero when scoring the goal three minutes and 20 seconds into stoppage time that secured the Blues' first league title since 1968, is estimated to fetch between £20,000 and £30,000. The No.16 jersey still bears dry champagne spray marks from the dressing room celebrations.
Agüero's winning goal has been described as the greatest moment in Premier League history -and was immortalised by commentator Martin Tyler's shout of 'Agueroooo'. Cantona's grey 'invisible' shirt from 1996 is estimated £10,000 to £12,000 at the auction.
Adam Gascgoine, CEO of Graham Budd Auctions who are holding the sale on May 24, said: "We are delighted to be offering this iconic shirt in our Premier League auction – it is one of the most important pieces in the history of the Premier League.
"In March of this year FourFourTwo Magazine published a list of the top 100 Premier League players and we very pleased that we have items relating to at least 83 of the top players in the sale."
The auction proceeds will be divided between an patient in need of urgent and ongoing medical assistance. Two charities that supported him during his prolonged illness - Testicular Cancer UK and the Stroke Association - will receive some of the proceeds.
For this lot Graham Budd Auctions has waived its seller's commission so that 100 per cent of the auction proceeds will go to these worthy causes. Celebrating 30 years of the Premier League, the live online sale will take place via grahambuddauctions.co.uk.
