JOE HART ALL HART Goalkeeper | 2006-2018 Games 348. HONOURS FA Cup 2011 | Community Shield 2012 | Premier League 2012 The joy that Hart expressed after Sergio clinched the title for the first time in 44 years was exactly why fans love him so much. Hart is a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and his hug with Gael Clichy after the game is now legendary. MANCHESTER CITY FC ‘ This moment against QPR was the one I wanted for Joe in this painting. His career had some ups and downs, but his contribution to that breakthrough title win is unquestioned, and the unbridled joy he is displaying sets the tone for the entire scene. Jamie Cooper hart After an interrupted start to his career at City, he returned from loan for the 2011 season, winning the Golden Glove for keeping the most clean sheets. Hart replicated this feat in 2012 and was a key player during City’s title-winning campaign. He won the Golden Glove for the third year in a row in the following season, and earned a second Premier League title in 2014. In 2015, Hart won the Golden Glove award for the fourth time in five years. 4
EARS TO YOU CARLOS TEVEZ Forward | 2009-2013 Games 148. Goals 73. HONOURS FA Cup 2011 | Community Shield 2012 | Premier League 2012 Tevez joined City from Manchester United in 2009 after United decided not to pay the £25 million to keep him. He quickly justified his worth. At the end of his first year he was given two club awards – the Player of the Year and the Players’ Player of the Year. In 2011 he won the Premier League Golden Boot and in 2012 he won the Premier League title. The mere 73 matches played to reach 50 goals made him the second-fastest player in City’s history to reach that figure, second only to Derek Kevan and his 64-game record. Tevez was a quick, hard-working and dynamic forward. An intelligent and creative player, with an eye for a goal. He was capable of playing as a striker, winger or attacking midfielder. Due to his finishing and positioning, he provided assists for teammates, as well as scoring goals himself. Pace and stamina also made Tevez useful when possession was lost, pressing opponents, aiding his team to win back the ball and begin attacking plays. ‘For the second goal, I ran to the touchline and cupped my ears and looked up to the part of the ground where the United directors were sitting, and also to (Sir Alex) Ferguson in the dugout, because I wanted them to know this was my response to them saying I was not worth the money. People from United had been speaking about me publicly and criticising me, but I wanted to do my talking on the pitch because that was the best way of responding to all these people, such as Neville, who were saying United were right to let me go.’ Carlos Tevez ‘ Players often have unique ways of expressing themselves in moments of triumph, and as this is a scene of celebration I thought Carlos’s ear celebration would be perfect. It gives us an insight into how this mercurial man thinks and feels. The celebration occurred during his two-goal performance in the 2-1 Carling Cup semi-final first-leg victory in 2010 and was aimed at the Manchester United directors.
