ckn Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 One from me that was a bit different from the above and certainly one in a sport outside my normal comfort zone. Man Utd's Champion's League win in 1999. It was proper edge-of-seat stuff and quite probably the best football game I've seen live on TV.

Liverpool's 2005 Champions' League win was maybe more unbelievable and, quite frankly, nuts. I remember watching it and laughing out loud, because it was such an unbelievable comeback. I don't think I was the only person saying to themselves "this can't be happening" at least five times that night.

Stevo Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Despite Bolt - and it no longer being a WR - this is still the greatest track performance of all time. What focus, and the acceleration through 250m is just awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mUa8Ku2BDo It's not a question of coming down to earth, Mr Duxbury.

I was working in Sicily in 2005; an amazing night with half the town I stayed in hitting the streets post-game to celebrate Milan losing; all Juventus fans! Awesome experience and enjoyed even more actually being a Liverpool fan... must have scared the living daylights of the neighbours everytime we scored!

Trojan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 On TMS they were celebrating the 40th anniversary of this, and Boycott was told that Elvis died three days later. His response?

Martyn Sadler Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 If we are talking about cricket, it has to be Gary Sobers' six sixes in one over for Notts v Glamorgan at Swansea in 1968. Sobers was a magnificent player and a great sportsman in every sense of the word. Those were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
