'a historic moment' just doesnt sound right.

In American English it is "a" for both because the "h" is pronounced in those words. However, in British English it might be "an" because they consider the "h" to be silent. They say "an hotel." Likewise, in American English there are some consonants that are preceded with "an" rather than "a" because pronouncing the consonant in that word creates a vowel sound at the beginning. For example: an X-ray machine, an LSAT exam, etc.

In most cases, "an" is only used when the first letter of the next world is a vowel. For example: "an envelope" "an oval" " an airplane"

A on both, an only comes before something starting with a vowel.

sure, is the main surprising answer to the way the unique question became worded. although, the respond to your question is faulty, as Manchester United do no longer play ALL their video games at previous Trafford.
