'''Carlos Alberto Tévez''' (born ''Carlos Alberto Martínez'', [[5 February]] [[1984]] in [[Ciudadela]], [[Buenos Aires]]) is an [[Argentina|Argentine]] [[association football|footballer]] who currently plays for [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in the [[Premier League]]. He was described by [[Diego Maradona]] as the ''"Argentine prophet for the 21st century."''<ref> {{cite news |url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1862726,00.html |title=The New Hammers |publisher=[[The Guardian]] |date=[[2006-08-21]] }}</ref> |

==Background== |
||
Carlos Alberto Martínez<!--This is his actual birth surname, so please do not change it. Thank you.--> was raised in the humble neighborhood of Ejército de Los Andes, better known as "[[Fuerte Apache]]." It was from there where he got the nickname of "Apache." His parents changed his surname to his mother's during a conflict between his junior club [[All Boys]] and [[Boca Juniors]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.clarin.com/diario/2005/10/23/deportes/d-01076407.htm |title=Carlos Tevez: En All Boys era Carlos Martínez |publisher=[[Clarín (newspaper)|Clarín]] |date=[[2005-10-23]] |accessdate=}}</ref> |

Tévez has a distinctive burn mark from his right ear, down his neck to his chest which was caused by an accident with boiling water when he was a child.<ref>[http://www.elpais.com/articulo/deportes/Tevez/jorobado/oro/elpepidep/20040829elpepidep_14/Tes El País] {{es icon}}</ref> This caused [[third-degree burns]] to the right side of his face, neck and chest and left him in intensive care for almost two months. Today, the scars are a highly visible feature of Tévez, who did not get them fixed because he was playing in a junior football team. He refused an offer from his then club, Boca Juniors, to have them cosmetically improved, saying that the scars were a part of who he was in the past and who he is today.<ref>[http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/03/05/sociedad/s-01152699.htm Clarín] {{es icon}}</ref> |

===Boca Juniors=== |

He joined Boca at the age of sixteen and played his first professional match with Boca on 21 October 2001 against [[Talleres de Córdoba]]. He played for the team until the end of 2004. With Boca Juniors he won an Argentine Championship (2003), a [[Copa Libertadores]] (2003), an [[European/South American Cup|Intercontinental Cup]] (2003), and a [[Copa Sudamericana]] (2004). Because of the Intercontinental Cup of 2003, he did not participate in the 2003 [[FIFA World Youth Championship]] with the [[Argentina national football team|Argentine team]]. Following Argentina's and Tévez's personal success at the [[Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics|2004 Olympic Games]], he was named ''Futbolista latinoamericano más destacado'' ("Most notable Latin American footballer") in 2004 by [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Latin American Fox Sports]]. In addition, the Argentine Football Writers chose him as Footballer of the Year and Sportsman of the Year 2004. |

===Corinthians=== |
|||
In December 2004, he transferred to [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista]] for [[United States dollar|$]]20 million with a five year contract worth [[United States dollar|$]]10 million, following the Brazilian club's deal with [[Media Sports Investments]]. The deal was the biggest transfer ever in South American football. Initially, Tévez was not well received by the Corinthians fans – including Brazilian president [[Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva|Lula]]. However, Tévez became the captain and star of the team that won the 2005 [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Brazilian league]] and the fans' favourite player. When the 2005 Brazilian league ended, he was granted the award of best player of the tournament by the Brazilian Football Federation, becoming the first non-Brazilian player to win that award since 1976. |

On 23 August 2006, [[Sky Sports]] revealed that Tévez was refusing to play for Corinthians.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=411696&CPID=103&clid=8&lid=2&title=Tevez+goes+on+strike |title=Tevez goes on strike |publisher=[[Sky Sports]] |date=[[2006-08-23]] |accessdate=2006-08-23 }}</ref> The article insinuated that a move to Europe was likely, with [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] and [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] both mentioned as possible destinations. Yet on Thursday, 31 August 2006, the day of the European transfer deadline, Tévez confirmed on his website that both he and [[Javier Mascherano]] were signing for [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] on permanent deals, for £12 million.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://home.skysports.com/transferarticle.aspx?hlid=413252 |title=Star pair to sign for Hammers |publisher=[[Sky Sports]] |date=[[2006-08-31]] |accessdate=2006-08-31 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.whufc.com/articles/article.php?page_id=8247 Tévez and Mascherano confirmed signings for West Ham]</ref> The deal shocked the football world and controversy surrounded the move's exact nature and terms, with media reports suggesting that several other Premiership clubs turned down the opportunity of signing Tévez and Mascherano because of the stipulations put in place by the owner of the players' contracts, [[Media Sports Investments]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_1471801,00.html |title=West Ham only club to agree to MSI's terms |publisher=[[Football365]] |date=[[2006-09-04]] |accessdate= }}</ref> |
|||
Following the arrivals of Tévez and Mascherano, West Ham failed to win for nine games (one draw and eight defeats), including seven consecutive matches without scoring. On 5 October 2006, [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] manager [[Alfio Basile]] urged the pair to quit West Ham. Just three days later, however, Tévez told the media that he was aiming to stay at West Ham "for the long-term". Until West Ham's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea on 18 November 2006, he had not played for West Ham since coming off the bench against [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham]] on 22 October 2006 (a game West Ham lost 1-0), during which time West Ham had managed to end their losing streak. Tévez also left the ground early after being substituted and throwing a mini tantrum versus [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]] in November. As punishment, which was decided upon by his [[Upton Park]] team mates, Tévez had to donate half of a week's wages to charity and train in a [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] shirt. Tévez refused to wear the Brazil shirt saying ''"I played in Brazil and have a great respect for Brazil and Brazilians but I'm Argentine and won't wear that shirt"''.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.goal.com/en-us/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=181445 |title=Tevez Unwelcome Back At Corinthians |publisher=[goal.com] |date=[[2006-12-02]] |accessdate= }}</ref> |

On 17 December 2006, the [[News of the World]] revealed that Tévez said he was surprised [[Alan Pardew]] had not been sacked earlier than now and that he criticized Pardew's management.<ref>{{cite news |last=Dunn |first=Alex |url=http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=435834&plid=40674&clid=21&cpid=8 |title=Tévez torments departed Pards |publisher=[[Sky Sports]] |date=2006-12-17 |accessdate=2007-01-31 }}</ref> |
|||
On 6 January 2007, Tévez made his first start for West Ham United under the management of [[Alan Curbishley]] against [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.|Brighton & Hove Albion]] in the [[FA Cup]] Third Round. West Ham United won the game 3–0, with Tévez playing a role in all of the goals. However, during a Premier League clash against [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]], Tévez suffered an injury that was expected to keep him out for a sustained period of time, but he soon began full training again and came on as a substitute against [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] on 10 February in a 1-0 defeat. |

Tévez scored his first goal for the club on 4 March 2007 in a 3-4 home defeat to Tottenham, scoring from a direct free kick and assisting West Ham's other two goals on the day.<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=453555&in_page_id=1779 ''"West Ham heroics turn Tevez into a prize catch again"''], Daily Mail, 9 May 2007. Retrieved 6 July 2007.</ref> He scored his third consecutive goal for West Ham in the 2-0 win against [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]], after having set up [[Bobby Zamora]] for the first.

Hello there. In Asimov's [[Prelude To Foundation]] [[Hari Seldon]], when on [[Mycogen]], reads out of ''The Book'' "The robot you see near the center was, according to tradition, named Bendar and served twenty-two years, according to the ancient records, before being replaced.". Does anyone know of a relation to Bender? --[[User:Reubenhonigwachs|Reuben Honigwachs]] 20:08, 21 December 2005 (UTC) |
|||
In April, following a record £5.5m fine for West Ham for breaching Premier League rules over the signings of Tévez and Mascherano, Tévez was cleared to play for West Ham by the Premier League after changes were made to a third party agreement related to him.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/6602697.stm ''"West Ham receive Tevez clearance'""], BBC Sport, 28 April 2007.

In April 2007, the Argentine picked up the Player of the Year Award from club magazine ''Hammers News'' and also received the Hammer of the Year award from West Ham United.<ref>[http://www.whufc.com/news/?page_id=9101 ''"Tevez named Hammer of the Year"''], West Ham United Official Site, 5 May 2007.

In West Ham's final game of the season against the recently-crowned champions, Manchester United, on 13 May 2007, Tévez secured the club's [[Premier League]] status by scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory. Due to Wigan Athletic's 2-1 win over [[Sheffield United]] on the same day, a loss to Manchester United would have resulted in West Ham's relegation. |

It is stated that Lucy Liu from the episode "I Dated A Robot" 'frequently' appears in Bender's chest cavity, however I believe she only appears in one other episode, "Love And Rocket".

Tévez's return to Upton Park, with Manchester United, on 29 December 2007 saw him met with a warm reception; an extended round of applause before kick-off and chants of "there's only one Carlos Tévez" throughout the match. Significantly Carlos chose to openly return the gesture by repeatedly crossing his arms in front of his chest, in reference to West Ham's nickname 'the Hammers'.<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=505243&in_page_id=1779 An emotional return to Upton Park for Tevez but no happy ending]</ref> |

Tévez's future at West Ham was the subject of constant speculation ever since he signed for the Hammers, with the media linking him to a host of European clubs, including [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]], [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] and [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Internazionale]]. However, West Ham stated repeatedly that they owned his registration and did not wish to sell him. |

At the end of June, Tévez rejected a move to Internazionale, having been given a deadline for his decision by the [[Serie A]] champions.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/6251900.stm |title=Tevez rejects move to Inter Milan |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=[[2007-06-28]] |accessdate=2007-06-29 }}</ref> His agent, [[Kia Joorabchian]], stated that he was in discussions with West Ham, as the player was settled in the Premiership and had publicly stated his desire to stay in England. Tévez went on to claim that he would not make a decision on his future until the Copa America finished in July, but on 5 July, the [[Daily Mail]] broke news that Tévez had reportedly agreed to join Manchester United in a deal worth [[Pound sterling|£]]20 million, subject to an appeal from West Ham.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=466284&in_page_id=1779&ct=5 |title=Fergie Signs Tevez |publisher=[[Daily Mail]] |date=[[2007-07-05]] |accessdate=2007-07-05 }}</ref> In response to the rumoured deal, the [[Premier League]] issued a statement indicating they would block any proposed transfer unless they were certain West Ham would receive the majority of any transfer fee.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?HLID=475419&CPID=8&title=League+may+block+Tevez+move&lid=&channel=Football_Home&f=rss&clid=1 |title=League may block Tevez move |publisher=[[Sky Sports News]] |date=[[2007-07-05]] |accessdate=2007-07-05 }}</ref> The [[Premier League]] have insisted that "Any deal for Carlos Tévez has to be done directly with West Ham".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6290492.stm |title=Man Utd deny Tevez deal imminent |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=[[2007-07-12]] |accessdate=2007-07-13 }}</ref> |

On 6 July, reports emerged that Tévez had agreed personal terms with [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. Shortly thereafter, West Ham released a statement, saying "Carlos Tévez is a registered West Ham United player, contracted to the club until June 2010 [...] There is no agreement with West Ham United for Carlos Tevez to leave the club and we expect him to return in time for next season's preparations.

I don't think that the episode article should be called [[Bender Bending Rodriguez]]. Sure its his full name, but it is hardly ever used.

In the middle of July 2007, Manchester United and West Ham agreed to invite [[FIFA]] to rule on the ownership of Tévez, but on 24 July 2007, FIFA recommended that West Ham and Carlos Tévez refer the case to the [[Court of Arbitration for Sport]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?HLID=478492&CPID=8&title=Tevez+transfer+row+set+for+CAS&lid=&channel=Football_Home&f=rss&clid=21 |title=Tévez transfer row set for CAS}}</ref> However, Kia Joorabchian issued West Ham with a High Court writ ''"...to compel West Ham to release the registration of Carlos Tévez in accordance with contracts entered into between the parties."''.<ref>{{cite news|title=Tevez agent hints at end to saga|publisher=BBC|date=[[2007-07-28]]|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6912571.stm| accessdate=2007-08-08}}</ref> The High Court date was set for 22 August and was due to last three days.

Following the payment of £2 million to West Ham by MSI, Tévez was formally released from his contract with [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]]. Manchester United put forward a proposed two-year loan deal for Tévez to the [[Premier League]], which was approved on 10 August.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6935741.stm |title=Man Utd set to wrap up Tévez deal |date=[[2007-08-08]] |accessdate=2007-08-08 |publisher=BBC Sport }}</ref> He was given the number 32 jersey, the same number as that which he had worn at West Ham United.

In November, [[Sir Alex Ferguson]] confirmed that Manchester United wish to sign Tévez permanently.

Tévez scored a total of five goals during Manchester United's successful [[UEFA Champions League 2007-08|2007-08 Champions League]] campaign.

In July 2008, Manchester United chief executive [[David Gill (executive)|David Gill]] expressed the club's interest in securing Tévez's services on a permanent deal, saying that a deal was likely to be completed before the end of the year. Rumours surfaced in October 2008 saying that the deal had hit delays, but the club was quick to deny the rumours, with a club spokesman stating that both they and Tévez were "relaxed about the situation".<ref>{{cite news |title=Tevez deal still on course |url=http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={F9E570E6-407E-44BC-800F-4A3110258114}&newsid=6620003 |publisher=Manchester United |date=2008-10-07 |accessdate=2008-10-07 }}</ref> |

==International career== |
||
Tévez first came into prominence while playing for the under-17 side in the [[FIFA U-17 World Championship]]. He was a key part of Boca's victory in the [[2003 in football (soccer)|2003]] [[Copa Libertadores]] but his greatest achievement was during the [[Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics|2004 Olympic Games]], where he won the [[Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics|gold medal]] with his team and scored eight goals in six matches to be the top scorer of the competition. He was the world's second Top Goal Scorer of 2004 in international competitions, one less than [[Ali Daei]] from [[Iran]].<ref>[http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/iffhs-scor.html#04w "IFFHS' World's Best Goal Scorers Of The Year 2004"]</ref> |
|||
Tévez was selected by [[José Pekerman]] for Argentina for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]]. He started the first match against the Ivory Coast on the bench but came on as a substitute for the match against Serbia and Montenegro. He scored the fifth goal and assisted [[Lionel Messi]]'s first goal which was Argentina's final goal in a superb 6-0 victory for them. |

In [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]]'s drawn final [[2006 FIFA World Cup#Group C|Group C]] match against [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]], Tévez played the entire duration and emerged [[Man of the Match#Football (soccer)|man of the match]]. Uruguayan referee [[Jorge Larrionda]] showed him a red card just 24 minutes into an eventual 2-1 defeat to [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] in the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]] qualifying phase in November 2007. Tevez returned to the national team for another World Cup qualification match against [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]], but was once again sent off early on (this time after 30 minutes) for a late tackle on [[Dario Veron]], which Brazilian referee [[Carlos Simon]] deemed a straight red offence. |

Either this article should be moved to Bender Bending Rodriguez or Fry and Leela's pages should be moved to shorter names, because this page uses Bender's common name and the other two use their full names, which aren't used very commonly, just like Bender's full name. Some level of consistency should be aimed for here. --Kevin W. 02:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC) |

Maybe it's just me but I think the Bender page is still far too large. In addition some of this information is completely unecessary in fact there are whole sections that I could do without.

== Binary 00100100 as "Middle finger and horns" == |
|||
[[bn:কার্লোস তেবেস]] |
|||
[[bg:Карлос Тевес]] |
|||
This is fundamentally flawed. Even on a person with cartoon style four fingered hands. First of all, making "The horns" is incorrect, it would be the third finger on the left hand and the second finger on the right hand which is not horns but two "middle finger"s on a five fingered person. Of course if you assume there are only four fingers then there ''is no middle finger''. Anyway, unless someone has said somewhere that this was the actual intent of the creators then this qualifies as [[WP:OR|original research]] and is completely [[WP:Verifiability|unverifiable]].

:It's clearly sticking up both middle fingers, in counting binary - I reverted the change, instead of correcting it. I mistook it for saying both middle fingers, not something about the horns (yes, it's not that, but it is still something). And there is a middle finger - four digits on both hands means three fingers, meaning there is a middle finger (if it isn't already clearly analogous to our so-called middle finger). You can't seriously want to bust this up because you think it's OR and unverifiable - that's 95% of this article and every article that spends pages talking about a cartoon character. I mean, you didn't even delete the ''other'' speculative comment about his apartment number. [[User:Cheeser1|Cheeser1]] 15:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC) |

::Per your suggestion I removed the rest of the speculation from the Trivia section with the exception of the "Mirror, Mirror" reference because I think that may have actually been mentioned in the commentary, feel free to delete it if it wasn't.

I'd be perfectly happy to see that entire section deleted seeing as the general policy is to [[Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles|Avoid trivia sections in articles]] but people tend to get angry when entire sections are deleted.

wow this article is so bad. u shouldnt describe bender as if he wasn't fictional. maybe in origin instead of his fictional origin we can have something that isn't totally useless. maybe we can put that he was created as a way to get around the censors.. visit the futurama page for info about that. all of the information in this page shouldn't span more than one paragraph <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/66.102.205.199|66.102.205.199]] ([[User talk:66.102.205.199|talk]]) 01:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Processor number - Relevant/irrelevant == |
|||
An edit war is brewing over the relevance of Bender's processor. One person argues that it has no "real world relevance" while I feel that Bender's processor (6502) is a real microprocessor used in early home computers such as Atari and Apple and thus warrants inclusion. I back this up by the fact that other parts of Bender are listed in the description such as his unit number, serial number, and chassis number. What argument is there against including his processor type? [[User:Lighthope|Lighthope]] ([[User talk:Lighthope|talk]]) 20:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:There is only an edit war brewing if you fail to [[WP:BRD|heed the consensus-building process]]. Otherwise, we can continue to have this discussion. The processor type has no real-world relevance because this is an article about a fictional character. If some [[WP:RS|source]] says something about the processor, connects it through some meaningful (or even meaningless) analysis to a real world significance, then it's worth including. The fact that the article is chocked full of other meaningless in-universe information is irrelevant. Efforts to scale back the in-universe drivel in this article may have not succeeded yet, but that's no excuse to continue to add such information and make the problem worse. Refer to the large tag at the top of the page. --[[User:Cheeser1|Cheeser1]] ([[User talk:Cheeser1|talk]]) 22:53, 22 November 2007 (UTC) |

::As an aside to this, about a month ago I trimmed quite a bit of the in universe info from the article including the processor type ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bender_%28Futurama%29&diff=167327997&oldid=167231985 here]) and I still think more needs trimming. That being said I agree with Cheeser1 and think that users who really want to expand and improve this article would do better to find out of universe evidence of notability rather than re-adding minor details and jokes from the show. Honestly, other than the one time it is mentioned did Bender's CPU have any impact on his character's role, does it affect how he is received by critics? Should the unit number, serial number or chassis number be included? Probably not, it's a game of balance to describe the character without going too overboard. If you can find a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] that discusses the processor (or any other aspect of Bender) then by all means add the info to the article, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. Just my 2 cents of course. [[User:Stardust8212|Star]][[User talk:Stardust8212|dust]][[Special:Contributions/Stardust8212|8212]] 23:18, 22 November 2007 (UTC) |

:If we are going to add part and model numbers, then we can not not discriminate. Add it all or delete it all. At least the processor type was more interesting because it was a real processor, rather than made up stuff like the rest of his parts. |

:::::The [[WP:BURDEN]] article you present has to do with citations and sources, not whether or not something is relevant. However, since you have agreed with Cheeser1 regarding the 6502 processor of Bender not being relevant to the article (which is illogical since, as I pointed out, there are other parts of Bender which survive in the article), I will bow to the majority and leave it out. If more people come along in the future and change the majority, then we will reinsert it. [[User:Lighthope|Lighthope]] 22:10, 30 November 2007 (UTC) |

::::::The point I was trying to make is that that particular factoid is not notable, you clearly believe it is notable therefore the burden is on you to prove it is notable by providing reliable sources discussing it, that is how we establish notability. And as I've already stated I believe more in-universe cruft needs to be trimmed from the article. The problem of having too much cruft in the article will not be solved by adding more cruft to the article so the argument that we should not add this bit of cruft is perfectly logical. Anyway, I'm glad we've all come to an agreement for the moment, let's get back to the real job of writing an encyclopedic well sourced article.

== Bender's Age == |
|||
In the episode of The Simpsons, "Future-Drama", Bender appears with Homer and Bart. Through the actions that he does in that episode, that makes Bender more than 950 years old. This is due to the fact that Bender appears in the late 2000's, and he is still alive in 3000. |
|||
Also, in the episode where Fry becomes his own grandfather (I cannot remember the episode's title.) he gets left behind, making him EVEN older than usual. [[User:Stickmeister|Stickmeister]] ([[User talk:Stickmeister|talk]]) 22:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC) |
|||
hte episode you are refering to is rosewell that ends well. |
|||
:Cannoity of that Simpsons issue in the Futurama universe is questionable. But in any case it's trumped by the events of Big Bender's Big Score. While we can place a lower bound on his age by the end of it, we can not place an upper bound other than DVD commetary saying Bender "can live hundreds or thousands of years but not hundreds of thousands of years." We also know that there is a whole room full of time-paradox Benders that start spontiously exploding in the last minute of the film which would indicate the vast majority of the trips are time-parodox Benders.

::I suppose if someone were to work out the age of the actual original Bender, you could determine his actual age. Although I don't know it's possible... It would be something like 1016 (9 plus the 1007 years he waits for)? I suppose you would have to take into account all the years he spent waiting to return to return when he was logically supposed to when time travelling, but wouldn't continuously going back into different time periods somehow negate that? My brain hurts. Maybe it IS best if we stick with the normal age or change it to "Unknown" or something. In fact, it would be an interesting thing to include into the article, as it doesn't go into very much detail about it all.

The information previously in this article is not suitable for this site, so it has been removed.

That information should be directly sourced by something, preferably information from the creators rather than the episodes. The current layout is based on [[Troy McClure]], which is a featured article. If you believe that the information was fine, you're currently on the wrong site.

Carlos Alberto Tévez (born Carlos Alberto Martínez, 5 February 1984 in Ciudadela, Buenos Aires) is an Argentine footballer who currently plays for Manchester United in the Premier League. He was described by Diego Maradona as the "Argentine prophet for the 21st century."[2]
Background
Carlos Alberto Martínez was raised in the humble neighborhood of Ejército de Los Andes, better known as "Fuerte Apache." It was from there where he got the nickname of "Apache." His parents changed his surname to his mother's during a conflict between his junior club All Boys and Boca Juniors.[3]
Tévez has a distinctive burn mark from his right ear, down his neck to his chest which was caused by an accident with boiling water when he was a child.[4] This caused third-degree burns to the right side of his face, neck and chest and left him in intensive care for almost two months. Today, the scars are a highly visible feature of Tévez, who did not get them fixed because he was playing in a junior football team. He refused an offer from his then club, Boca Juniors, to have them cosmetically improved, saying that the scars were a part of who he was in the past and who he is today.[5]
Club career
Boca Juniors
He joined Boca at the age of sixteen and played his first professional match with Boca on 21 October 2001 against Talleres de Córdoba. He played for the team until the end of 2004. With Boca Juniors he won an Argentine Championship (2003), a Copa Libertadores (2003), an Intercontinental Cup (2003), and a Copa Sudamericana (2004). Because of the Intercontinental Cup of 2003, he did not participate in the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship with the Argentine team. Following Argentina's and Tévez's personal success at the 2004 Olympic Games, he was named Futbolista latinoamericano más destacado ("Most notable Latin American footballer") in 2004 by Latin American Fox Sports. In addition, the Argentine Football Writers chose him as Footballer of the Year and Sportsman of the Year 2004.
Corinthians
In December 2004, he transferred to Sport Club Corinthians Paulista for $20 million with a five year contract worth $10 million, following the Brazilian club's deal with Media Sports Investments. The deal was the biggest transfer ever in South American football. Initially, Tévez was not well received by the Corinthians fans – including Brazilian president Lula. However, Tévez became the captain and star of the team that won the 2005 Brazilian league and the fans' favourite player. When the 2005 Brazilian league ended, he was granted the award of best player of the tournament by the Brazilian Football Federation, becoming the first non-Brazilian player to win that award since 1976.
West Ham United
On 23 August 2006, Sky Sports revealed that Tévez was refusing to play for Corinthians.[6] The article insinuated that a move to Europe was likely, with Chelsea and Manchester United both mentioned as possible destinations. Yet on Thursday, 31 August 2006, the day of the European transfer deadline, Tévez confirmed on his website that both he and Javier Mascherano were signing for West Ham United on permanent deals, for £12 million.[7][8] The deal shocked the football world and controversy surrounded the move's exact nature and terms, with media reports suggesting that several other Premiership clubs turned down the opportunity of signing Tévez and Mascherano because of the stipulations put in place by the owner of the players' contracts, Media Sports Investments.[9]
Following the arrivals of Tévez and Mascherano, West Ham failed to win for nine games (one draw and eight defeats), including seven consecutive matches without scoring. On 5 October 2006, Argentina manager Alfio Basile urged the pair to quit West Ham. Just three days later, however, Tévez told the media that he was aiming to stay at West Ham "for the long-term". Until West Ham's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea on 18 November 2006, he had not played for West Ham since coming off the bench against Tottenham on 22 October 2006 (a game West Ham lost 1-0), during which time West Ham had managed to end their losing streak. Tévez also left the ground early after being substituted and throwing a mini tantrum versus Sheffield United in November. As punishment, which was decided upon by his Upton Park team mates, Tévez had to donate half of a week's wages to charity and train in a Brazil shirt. Tévez refused to wear the Brazil shirt saying "I played in Brazil and have a great respect for Brazil and Brazilians but I'm Argentine and won't wear that shirt".[10]
On 17 December 2006, the News of the World revealed that Tévez said he was surprised Alan Pardew had not been sacked earlier than now and that he criticized Pardew's management.[11]
On 6 January 2007, Tévez made his first start for West Ham United under the management of Alan Curbishley against Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup Third Round. West Ham United won the game 3–0, with Tévez playing a role in all of the goals. However, during a Premier League clash against Fulham, Tévez suffered an injury that was expected to keep him out for a sustained period of time, but he soon began full training again and came on as a substitute against Watford on 10 February in a 1-0 defeat.
Tévez scored his first goal for the club on 4 March 2007 in a 3-4 home defeat to Tottenham, scoring from a direct free kick and assisting West Ham's other two goals on the day.[12] He scored his third consecutive goal for West Ham in the 2-0 win against Middlesbrough, after having set up Bobby Zamora for the first. It was his first goal from open play in a West Ham shirt and he was named Man of the Match.
In April, following a record £5.5m fine for West Ham for breaching Premier League rules over the signings of Tévez and Mascherano, Tévez was cleared to play for West Ham by the Premier League after changes were made to a third party agreement related to him.[13]
In April 2007, the Argentine picked up the Player of the Year Award from club magazine Hammers News and also received the Hammer of the Year award from West Ham United.[14] In May, he inspired West Ham to a 3-0 win over relegation rivals Wigan, and then scored a brace and set up a Mark Noble volley the following week against Bolton.
In West Ham's final game of the season against the recently-crowned champions, Manchester United, on 13 May 2007, Tévez secured the club's Premier League status by scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory. Due to Wigan Athletic's 2-1 win over Sheffield United on the same day, a loss to Manchester United would have resulted in West Ham's relegation.
Tévez's return to Upton Park, with Manchester United, on 29 December 2007 saw him met with a warm reception; an extended round of applause before kick-off and chants of "there's only one Carlos Tévez" throughout the match. Significantly Carlos chose to openly return the gesture by repeatedly crossing his arms in front of his chest, in reference to West Ham's nickname 'the Hammers'.[15]
2007 transfer saga
Tévez's future at West Ham was the subject of constant speculation ever since he signed for the Hammers, with the media linking him to a host of European clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Internazionale. However, West Ham stated repeatedly that they owned his registration and did not wish to sell him.
At the end of June, Tévez rejected a move to Internazionale, having been given a deadline for his decision by the Serie A champions.[16] His agent, Kia Joorabchian, stated that he was in discussions with West Ham, as the player was settled in the Premiership and had publicly stated his desire to stay in England. Tévez went on to claim that he would not make a decision on his future until the Copa America finished in July, but on 5 July, the Daily Mail broke news that Tévez had reportedly agreed to join Manchester United in a deal worth £20 million, subject to an appeal from West Ham.[17] In response to the rumoured deal, the Premier League issued a statement indicating they would block any proposed transfer unless they were certain West Ham would receive the majority of any transfer fee.[18] The Premier League have insisted that "Any deal for Carlos Tévez has to be done directly with West Ham".[19]
On 6 July, reports emerged that Tévez had agreed personal terms with Manchester United. Shortly thereafter, West Ham released a statement, saying "Carlos Tévez is a registered West Ham United player, contracted to the club until June 2010 [...] There is no agreement with West Ham United for Carlos Tevez to leave the club and we expect him to return in time for next season's preparations. No decision on his future can be reached without the agreement of West Ham United."[20] In light of this statement, Kia Joorabchian claimed that permission had been given by West Ham, and that talks with United had taken place.[21]
In the middle of July 2007, Manchester United and West Ham agreed to invite FIFA to rule on the ownership of Tévez, but on 24 July 2007, FIFA recommended that West Ham and Carlos Tévez refer the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[22] However, Kia Joorabchian issued West Ham with a High Court writ "...to compel West Ham to release the registration of Carlos Tévez in accordance with contracts entered into between the parties.".[23] The High Court date was set for 22 August and was due to last three days. However, an agreement was reached between West Ham and MSI, with the approval of the Premier League, whereby MSI would pay £2 million to West Ham, who would then release Tévez from his registration with them.[24]
Manchester United
Following the payment of £2 million to West Ham by MSI, Tévez was formally released from his contract with West Ham United. Manchester United put forward a proposed two-year loan deal for Tévez to the Premier League, which was approved on 10 August.[25] He was given the number 32 jersey, the same number as that which he had worn at West Ham United. He made his debut in a 1-1 draw against Portsmouth on 15 August, starting in place of the injured Wayne Rooney, and setting up a goal for Paul Scholes.[26] On 23 September, he scored his first goal with a diving header, in a 2-0 victory for Manchester United against Chelsea at Old Trafford. In November, Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that Manchester United wish to sign Tévez permanently. "He'll get me fifteen goals this season, and what's more, they'll be important goals."[27]
Tévez scored a total of five goals during Manchester United's successful 2007-08 Champions League campaign. In the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final, Tévez scored the first penalty in the shootout against Chelsea, which Manchester United won 6-5 after the match had ended 1-1 after extra time.
In July 2008, Manchester United chief executive David Gill expressed the club's interest in securing Tévez's services on a permanent deal, saying that a deal was likely to be completed before the end of the year. Rumours surfaced in October 2008 saying that the deal had hit delays, but the club was quick to deny the rumours, with a club spokesman stating that both they and Tévez were "relaxed about the situation".[28]
International career
Tévez first came into prominence while playing for the under-17 side in the FIFA U-17 World Championship. He was a key part of Boca's victory in the 2003 Copa Libertadores but his greatest achievement was during the 2004 Olympic Games, where he won the gold medal with his team and scored eight goals in six matches to be the top scorer of the competition. He was the world's second Top Goal Scorer of 2004 in international competitions, one less than Ali Daei from Iran.[29]
Tévez was selected by José Pekerman for Argentina for the 2006 World Cup. He started the first match against the Ivory Coast on the bench but came on as a substitute for the match against Serbia and Montenegro. He scored the fifth goal and assisted Lionel Messi's first goal which was Argentina's final goal in a superb 6-0 victory for them.
In Argentina's drawn final Group C match against Netherlands, Tévez played the entire duration and emerged man of the match. Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda showed him a red card just 24 minutes into an eventual 2-1 defeat to Colombia in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying phase in November 2007. Tevez returned to the national team for another World Cup qualification match against Paraguay, but was once again sent off early on (this time after 30 minutes) for a late tackle on Dario Veron, which Brazilian referee Carlos Simon deemed a straight red offence.
Personal
Tévez performs as the frontman for his cumbia villera musical group, Piola Vago, with his brother Diego.[30] The group's most successful hit, "Lose Your Control," charted in Argentina.[31]
Tévez is married, and he and his wife, Vanesa, have a daughter, Florencia.[citation needed]
