Tévez was born as Carlos Alberto Martínez, and raised in the humble neighbourhood 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 mothers during a conflict between his junior club All Boys and Boca Juniors.
Tévez has a distinctive burn mark from his right ear, down his neck to his chest. This occurred when he was ten months old while he was exploring his mother’s kitchen floor and he inadvertently pulled a kettle of boiling water over himself. 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.
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 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 on October 22 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 weeks 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".
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.
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. 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 Wanderers.
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 Premiership 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.
On 6 July, reports emerged that Tévez had agreed personal terms with Manchester United. Shortly thereafter, West Ham released a statement, saying "Carlos Tevez 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." In light of this statement, Kia Joorabchian claimed that permission had been given by West Ham, and that talks with United had taken place.
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. However, Kia Joorabchian issued West Ham with a High Court writ to "...to compel West Ham to release the registration of Carlos Tevez in accordance with contracts entered into between the parties.". 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.
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 Holland, Tévez played the entire duration and emerged man of the match.
