Personally, having not been to many games, I'd say O'Riley's winner against Man City was hard to beat. Also Buonanotte's goal against Palace to put us 3-0 up mere seconds after going 2-0 up

I would say on the open day in 2011 walking into the nearly completed Amex. Finding where our seats will be in East stand. Looking in awe at what Tony had achieved for our very grateful supporters.

Comical how our completely non-fickle and hardcore fanbase picks the rugby or the England women’s football over an actual Albion moment . Says it all really.

Japan beating the mighty South Africa happened on our turf, and was one of the biggest shocks in sporting history - ever. It’s hard to put into words how huge that result was, combined with the manner of winning (deciding to scrum for a try to win it, rather than take an easy penalty for a draw).

The atmosphere was incredible, beer at your seat, full house of smiling faces - the Japanese were just happy to be there and get on the scoreboard.

I love the Albion always, but objectively that was the biggest moment at the Amex (note the wording I used welcoming all moments at the Amex) in my opinion. And others agree.

First European game and promotion. In that order.

I know I will be unpopular, and I probably shouldnt comment, but...

Glen Murray sealing Palace becoming the first away team to win in the league, Wilf's second goal to seal the Play off win, and Sarr's goal to seal victory in December would be the top 3 moments for me, with Wilf being my favourite moment, albeit only from the TV for me

but it's rugby and not even our home nation.

Beating Wigan for promotion to the Prem is number one.

Definitely Will Buckley’s winner against Doncaster, it was the icing on the cake to a really special memorable day

Wigan Doncaster Marseille palace (st pats day ) and Luton home last season (my 4 in exile and my youngest daughter’s 1st game and she’s a massive Albion fan now she’s gutted when she has to miss a game ) in no order are my top 5 moments

Totally agree that this is the day and the moment is all of that day, especially sitting in Dick's bar before the game watching the crowds return. One of many tear in eye moments.

The late great John Prescott approving it in the first place. If it wasn’t for that free steak pie he was given at Withdean, who knows where we’d be?

Lots of great moments but one not mentioned ...Ali Mac's last minute penalty v Man Utd . Knowing that we'd won the game, and (probably) were heading for Europe . And the long anticipation waiting for him to take it. I went mad....

I don´t get to visit the Amex more than once or twice a season but my greatest moment was when Pedro scored very late in my first ever Albion Europe game v Marseille.
