Carlos Tevez (26 apps 7 goals)
Tevez was crucial in our battle to stay in the Premier League
An absolute headline of a story when he was signed in 2006, the Argentine took time to settle in the top flight.
After a somewhat petulant start to his short stay, it was his performances that went a long way to securing the club’s survival in the Premier League, including the winner in the final game of the season away at Manchester United.
His renewed commitment to the team from after Christmas inspired belief amongst fans, and he turned into a creative idol to match his eccentric predecessor Paolo Di Canio.
In his subsequent matches against West Ham, he would make the crossed Hammers sign to fans as a show of his appreciation for their admiration.
