On the final day of the 2006-07 Premier League season, West Ham United beat already-crowned champions Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford with a goal from Carlos Tevez.

This victory was crucial, as it helped West Ham avoid relegation by finishing 15th. It remains one of the most dramatic “great escapes” in Premier League history, especially since Tevez had joined West Ham amid controversy earlier that season.

West Ham have occasionally punched above their weight against United in big moments, like doing the league double over United in recent seasons or ending long waits for wins at Old Trafford (e.g., a 2-0 victory there in 2025).

Overall, United lead the historical head-to-head with 74 wins to West Ham’s 50 across 157 meetings, but the Hammers love a giant-killing twist!

[Manchester United fun facts @unitedfunfacts]

The Munich air disaster remains one of the darkest days in football history.

On 6 February 1958, British European Airways Flight 609, carrying Manchester United’s legendary “Busby Babes” team back from a European Cup tie, crashed on its third take-off attempt at Munich-Riem Airport due to slush on the runway.

Of the 44 people on board, 23 lost their lives, including eight talented young United players (Geoff Bent, Roger Byrne, Eddie Colman, Duncan Edwards, Mark Jones, David Pegg, Tommy Taylor, and Liam Whelan), three club officials, and several journalists and supporters.

Manager Sir Matt Busby was seriously injured but survived to rebuild the club, leading them to European Cup glory a decade later.

68 years on, we remember the victims, the survivors, and the unbreakable spirit of Manchester United. Never forgotten. 💔
