Carlos Tevez Announces Retirement From Football

[The perfect fumble]

That billboard was a marketing masterstroke. It boiled enough piss to float a battleship. I never got the chance to see it in person; where was it, down the cathedral end of Deansgate?

This tells the story of that famous billboard....

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.

Amazing goal, wasn’t that the the one a few days after we beat them in the cup final?

This tells the story of that famous billboard....

Gets it wrong in the very first sentence. Border of Salford, not Trafford…

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. People will still talk about that billboard in 100 years’ time. Best thing Garry Cook did. Rags were 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 (“Who's that twat from Argentina, Who's that money grabbing whore, Carlos Tevez is his name, and he hasn't got a brain, Cos he won't be winning trophies any more”)...

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!”)…

Fucking brilliant!

Superb.

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

Indeed. Wonderful performance.

It's a shame that sex-pest **** Johnson scored. Always have to turn it off at 5-1.

Would be the perfect Pep player in this team.

For me, an incredible player with a snake agent.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Was a perfect signing for us at the time and seeing some of the goals he scored were absolutely superb.

Seriously pissing off the rag cunts esp the Govan Bully was a real bonus for us.

It was all still so fresh and exciting seeing world class players in our team

Magnificent footballer and a wonderful story when he joined us



One of the greatest media campaigns in sporting history, fitting for a special player at a special club.

Mucho gracias Carlito.

I thought he was about 45 ish and long retired lol

Even at 45 that guy would run through a brick wall in the cause,
