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.

"I just can't believe it's taken us 55 years for us to reach another final!"

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.
