Carlos Tevez Announces Retirement From Football

[Lavinda Past]

Proper footballer, genuinelyworld class. It was a pleasure to see him playing in a City shirt.

In my top 5 favourite City players ever. At his City best, he would walk into our current team (and probably score 25+goals a season)

Awesome,maybe even the springboard.

Yeah, just where you’re imagining. It was on the side of the Renaissance Hotel on Deansgate. Harvey Nichols is on the other side of the road.

It’s still a billboard location today, the Cathedral does face it.

It was absolutely brilliant that. Best thing Garry Cook did. Rags we’re frothing at the mouth about it after telling us for two years that they didn’t give a shit about us, we’d never do anything with our money, nobody would sign for us, we were smalltime… then they were almost apoplectic about us signing Tevez and even more that billboard. Ferguson saw his arse about it n’all. The bitterness coming out of him (“Noisy Neighbours” “will City ever go into a derby as favourites? Haha, not in my lifetime!”).

People will still talk about that billboard in 100 years’ time.

Fucking brilliant!

That top pic is brilliant; many thanks Psych. I know the area well. Though I don't do much shopping in HN!

He was very welcome in Manchester,

The catalyst to our recent success. Maybe a difficult character at times evidenced by his dispute with Mancini but what a player. Seemed to drag us through games single handed at times with his incredible workrate and will to win.

Thought he'd already retired.

I thought he was about 45 ish and long retired lol

Still remember that free kick against Stoke. Watching from the SS and right behind it as he bent it tremendous power and precision into the top corner. A brilliant player.

The one player that always to me looked like the ball was glued to his feet. I don’t think he ever lost possession.

That game at Norwich with Tevez and Aguero in perfect unison was absolutely brilliant!!
