INFO:
Agius is a former centre forward, secondary striker and attacking midfielder. In his late career, he was deployed also as central or defensive midfielder. He spent his almost entire career at Valletta, making 769 appearances from 1990 to 2013 ─ excluding short loans to Pisa in 2001-02 and Xewkija Tigers in 2013-14 ─ scoring 254 goals. He played for Malta 120 times, scoring 8 goals. He was named Maltese Player of the Year three times, in 1997, 2001 and 2007.
Regarded as a hero by Valletta fans, Agius was team captain for many years and showed immense loyalty to the club to the point that his jersey n°7 was retired. More widely, he's one of the most well known and respected players in the history of Maltese football. Gifted with an uncanny scoring ability, Agius was highly prolific especially with Valletta as he didn't score much with his national team. He was accurate in front of the goalkeeper, possessed great positioning, was capable of scoring with volleys and reactive to tap the ball in. Sometimes his shots were quite powerful but most of the times he preferred placing the ball. He was also a fine header and a set piece specialist. In fact, he scored numerous penalties and most importantly free kicks as he gave the ball remarkable effect. He could be a threat even from corner kick, sometimes targeting directly the goal. He wasn't fast but possessed good technical qualities and passing skills. For these reasons, he proved to be a key player also as attacking midfielder.
