Sergio Agü The Little Genius is the tale of the boy who would go on to re-write football history forever.

This is how the small boy from Argentina became the biggest hero of all. Tom Oldfield is a freelance sports writer and the author of biographies on Cristiano Ronaldo, Arsène Wenger and Rafael Nadal. Matt Oldfield is an accomplished writer and the editor-in-chief of football review site Of Pitch and Page.

[John Anthony · Rating 3 out of 5]

A refreshing change of reading for me. A fairly undemanding but enjoyable, if rather wooden and repetetive, (he scores!!) read.

Growing up in Argentina, family life. His nickname ‘Kun’ fom the age of around 2, because of his addiction to the Japanese cartoon character of the same name. Death of his boyhood friend and player Emiliano.

No “kiss and tell” stuff here just 25 years + of scoring and assisting goals.

Knowing nothing about football I come away with the impression that Sergio Aguero is football's Sidney Crosby: extremely talented, hard working, driven, and incredibly annoying.

Great book

Even though I am a united fan I have to admit he is on of the best in the prem. Loved reading about his childhood and how he grew up.
