Wigan Athletic 1 - 0 Manchester City. 2013 FA Cup Final

Dave Whelan's dreams had come true. Wigan Athletic have won the FA Cup. Marcus Thompson, a Wigan fan and occasional contributor, told this blog: "You grew up as a Wigan fan not expecting to ever do or win anything. Getting to the Premier League in 2005 was great but this was another level entirely."

Oldham Athletic 4 - 3 Southampton. Oldham stay in the Premier League after a dramatic final day.

Oldham are now in the fourth tier of England but they were once in the Premier League. A dramatic final day in May 1993 gave them another season in the top flight.

The Magic Moments page on the Greater Manchester Football website takes a look at some more of the greatest matches that have taken place across Greater Manchester.

Arsenal 4 - 0 Everton. Arsenal clinch 1998 Premier League title in style

Wenger's first great Arsenal side sealed their first trophy in style. A 4-0 win over Everton sealed their first championship since 1991 after a dramatic battle with Manchester United. A late goal from Tony Adams put the icing on the cake.
