I'd never heard of her before you mentioned that name, so I looked her up.
What a brilliant (short) career, and what a dreadful tragedy.

Best game seen live as a 'neutral'...

This! Absolutely fabulous game in the Toys R Us stadium. Czech's two down early on, Robben gets taken off and the Dutch implode, absolutely stunning game.

Yup. The Dutch went one up after four minutes, when they should have already been two down.
It was that kind of game.

1970 Highfield Road.Coventry v Everton.
Willie Carr traps the ball between his heels and flips a free kick up for Ernie Hunt (Brilli-unt) to volley into the net.
They changed the free kick rule thereafter.

Bit more recent, but Newcastle Arsenal 4-4 was rather special.

The only one I can think of going to as a neutral was the charity shield a few years ago between Liverpool and Chelsea when Riise pinged it in the bottom corner from 30 yards after running from his own box

Fulham 4-1 Juventus
Not so much a neutral, given that I think most the watching nation was probably egging them on that night. But it was a cracker; last 16 of the Europa League - Fulham needed to overturn a 3-1 deficit from the first leg, which was looking nigh on impossible after Trezeguet put Juve ahead after just 2 minutes. Bobby grabbed an equaliser, then Cannavaro was sent off, and the comeback was underway. Gera struck twice either side of half-time, bringing things level at 4-4 on aggregate, before Clint Dempsey scored the most sensational chip late on to dump out the Italians on one of the greatest nights in their history.

This is an easy one for me as it was Portsmouth v Barnsley at Fratton Park around 10 years ago...Although strictly not a neutral as I was in the away end.
The Albion played on the Friday night and I think we beat Cardiff en route to winning (what is now) League 1. Another Albion fan I know has a soft spot for Barnsley as it is his dads team so him, me and an Everton fan we know trundled off down the coast.
We saw a fantastic game which ended 4-4 but it had everything. Pompey has Robert Prosinečki playing for them and we was superb scoring a stunning hat-trick. There was some quality football being and after Portsmouth found themseves 4-2 up Linvoy Primus got himself sent-off...Barnsley then scored the resulting penalty and then bagged an injury time equaliser. Quality stuff.
I was also at Palace's first game of the season against Watford where the Hornets scored 2 late goals to win 3-2 which was very satisfactory, but then again, as above I was hardly neutral in that game!
But the Pompey v Barnsley game has to be the best.
Albion & England forever.

Wimbledon 2 Wycombe 2 AET
(Wycombe win 8-7 on penalties)
FA Cup in 2001
Wycombe were reduced to 10 men, and survived a penalty in the third minute of injury time, and were a goal behind after 34 seconds of extra time, and equalised in the 120th minute, and won 8-7 in a 20-penalty shoot-out.. Went with a load of Wycombe fans.. Was at Smellhurst, but the footy made up for it..

Portugal v Spain, Euro 2004. Just a great carnival of colour, with passionate fans on both sides. Portugal won 1-0 and the party in Lisbon after was great.

1992 Newcastle Utd vs Notts Forest league cup 4th or 5th round game. I went to Newcastle Uni and still live here. We had a tradition as students that when our team was playing the Toon we'd all go any support the mate's team in the away end. They got treated to some rancid Albion performances but that's another story. Our mate Graham got a seat in the Forest end and the rest of when on the Leazes terrace to the side and below. Newcastle went 2 up and it was a poor game. Anyway we shouting and singing at Graham above us in the stand to liven things up at half time. In response he pulled a quick moonie. We cheered and some other Forest fans noticed and started cheering too. So he another but a big longer with a bit more cheek. The whole away noticed that one. So he got on his seat and gave it the full monty not noticing the police on the touch line clocking him. 60 seconds later he pulled out the ground and the whole away end was jumping. Forest came out to the 2nd half and they must wondered what the hell was going on but the noise the away was making really gave them a lift. They starting playing like kings and slaughtered Newcastle. Got the game back to 2-2 and forced a reply. I have never laughed so much in my life but nor have I seen the (indirect) actions of a fan have such a impact on a game. He got a £70 fine for indecent exposure. I can't remember the game but the the policeman clocking him I'll never forget - legendary.

Alvin Martin scored a hat-trick against 3 different Newcastle keepers (1 sent off, 1 carried off). Peter Beardsley ended up in goal. Geordie fans went MENTAL when they scored to pull it back to 1-7.
FA Cup SF 1976 Southampton 2 Palace 0 was quite good too. In the palace end as my uncle got us tickets (he worked for Bloye the Palace chairman). They were weeping as they left in their mock fedora hats.

Chelsea v Man City in the Full Members Cup Final when I was doing my "see all finals at Wembley". It finished 5-4, Chelsea lead 5-1 and Man City then scored three in the last 5 minutes.
Interestingly Doug Rougvie, Colin Pates and Keith Dublin all played for Chelsea and Neil McNab for City

But also the NSC sponsored Lewes v Redbridge game when Lewes were 4-0 down at half time and came back to win 5-4
