ckn 14,054 Report post 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. 2 1 Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Stevo 216 Report post 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 Quote 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!

Martyn Sadler 1,914 Report post 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. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
