Sergio Aguero joins the 200 club

The Argentine has now broken into the 200 club after netting the opener in the Community Shield against Chelsea on Sunday.

He is now part of a select group to have notched a double ton for a single club in English football, joining a host of legends in the game

Most recently it was Wayne Rooney who joined that list on his way to 253 goals for Manchester United.

Before the Everton striker there was Frank Lampard, who reached 211 goals at Chelsea, and Thierry Henry, the only player to net over 200 times for Arsenal.

Alan Shearer netted the last of his 206 goals for Newcastle in 2006, a total bettered by one by Matt Le Tissier at Southampton.

Aguero is now the 27th player from a current Premier League club to have surpassed the 200 goal mark for a single side.

Dixie Dean leads the way having scored 383 times for Everton between 1925 and 1937, way ahead of Ian Rush's haul of 346 just over half-a-century later across Stanley Park.

Liverpool and Manchester United both have four players each to have scored over 200 times, including such legendary names as Roger Hunt, Billy Liddell, Bobby Charlton and Denis Law.

Tony Brown became West Brom's leading all-time scorer with 279 in a 20-year spell, with Arthur Chandler netting 273 for Leicester before the Second World War.

Jimmy Greaves hit the back of the net 266 times for Tottenham between 1961 and 1970, surpassing Bobby Smith's record of 208 before him.

Mick Channon hit 228 during two successful spells at Southampton in a 17-year period.

Wolves legend Steve Bull opens the top 10, having scored 306 times between 1986 and 1999.

Ian Rush found the back of the net on a staggering 346 occasions during two trophy-laden spells with Liverpool in the 1980s and 90s and finds himself in sixth place.

The top four is made up predominantly of players from before the Second World War - including Dixie Dean, who famously netted 60 league goals in the 1927-28 season for Everton.

Leading the way in a league of his own, however, is Johnny Hayward, who scored 548 goals for Yeovil Town in an astonishing 22-year career between 1906 and 1928.

Aguero has some way to go to match that record, and given he turns 30 in the summer he will do very well to get anywhere near it.

After arriving from Atletico Madrid with a big fee attached to his name in 2011, Aguero duly delivered in style on his debut.

He netted twice in a 4-0 win over Swansea, the second a thunderous strike from 30 yards.

His crowning moment in a City shirt arrived on the final day of the season, scoring the all-important goal winner against QPR that won the title ahead of arch-rivals Manchester United.

Only injuries have prevented him from reaching  200 sooner than in his seventh season at the club.

And as he approaches his 30th birthday he has entered the form of his life with 30 goals in 35 appearances already in this campaign.

The question now is how much further he can get up that list in the time he has remaining  at the Etihad.
