Carlos Tevez was a combative, deep-chested forward whose intensity and street-honed technique made him a favourite wherever he played. Emerging from Boca Juniors, where he became an idol, he moved to Europe via Corinthians and starred for West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City, winning league titles on both sides of Manchester before a spell at Juventus.
An Argentina international with a relentless work rate and an eye for a decisive goal, he combined graft with genuine quality. He returned to Boca in his later years, cementing his status as one of the club’s most cherished sons.
