Carlos Tevez has referred to the possibility of one of his goals condemning West Ham to relegation as 'unthinkable'.
Former Hammer Tevez - who was part of the team that achieved the 'Great Escape' to avoid relegation in 2006/07 - returns to the Boleyn Ground on the final day of the Premier League season when his current side, Manchester City visit London.It is a game that the Citizens may have to win in order to guarantee a Champions League spot - and also one that West Ham may need to win in order to avoid relegation. But should it come to that, Tevez insists that his will not be the goal to send United into the Championship.
"It is unthinkable that I will score a goal that will send West Ham to relegation," he told the Daily Mail. "To score such a goal against them would change my history with them.
"Their supporters feel football; they are passionate, these people invested great support in me. When the game comes, I hope City have already secured fourth place and West Ham are safe. That is the best I hope for."
Tevez, who has scored 22 league goals in 28 starts for City this season - also revealed during the interview that he would love to return to the Boleyn one day as a player. "I wish to play for West Ham again before I finish my career," he admitted. "I have some unfinished business there."
