That’s nothing new for the Argentinian striker—he has 61 goals in 96 EPL games since joining Manchester City in 2011 and has another 15 goals in 24 games in UEFA continental play.
He’s been good for a long time. He broke a record set by legendary Diego Maradona when he made his debut in the Argentine Primera Division at age 15 in 2003.
And as it turns out, the Dallas Cowboys being in England is a big deal for Aguero—he’s a Cowboys fan, or at least at one point he was.

He’s rocking a No. 16 Cowboys jersey, which makes sense since that’s the number he wears for Man City.
But that might look a little strange in the eyes of Cowboys fans who aren’t familiar with the EPL.
To them it might appear that he’s rocking a Vinny Testaverde Cowboys’ jersey—a rare find considering Vinny’s Dallas career consisted of 16 games and 15 starts in 2004.
Or it could be Ryan Leaf—a Cowboy for four games in 2001. It could be Jesse Holley—a Dallas wide receiver in 2010-11.
It could even be Damon Hodge, a Cowboy wideout in 2000.
In any event, none of those would be players a Dallas fan would think anyone should wear a jersey for.
