Murray winning Wimbledon for me.

Of course it’s subjective and the whole Olympics of 2012 was emotional for me from the opening ceremony. I think my abiding memory is Andy Murray winning the tennis gold medal. In an era of Roger Federer, Novak and Nadal it’s a wonder he won anything! He had lost Wimbledon to Roger earlier in the summer making it doubly cathartic, or whatever the word is! Also I only caught bits of Super Saturday whereas I watched all of the tennis final so maybe that’s why it sticks.
probably pumped up full of drugs that were in his body from eating wild boar...allegedly..

Wait wait actually the Chelsea fan who got the ball smashed into his face. That has to be up there surely?

A never forget moment.
We were in a sports bar at a Centreparc, thinking the title lost, until THAT moment.
For me, the Rugby WCF in 2003 and Jonny’s last gasp drop kick. Ian Robertson’s R5 commentary matched the magic. Goosebumps.

I think that 5th gold was in Sydney. Loved it. All the rowing golds in that wonderful era were special, with the passionate commentary from the BBC experts.
Similarly, all the track cycling golds.

Jason Kenny winning the Keirin in Tokyo.
Super Saturday can do one, and I say that as someone who was at the Olympics that night*
* in Cardiff, watching Great Britain v South Korea in the football. Great Britain lost on penalties.

Rugby World Cup - Rediculous reffing of scrum made it a far closer game than it should’ve been, but an unforgettable finish.
Men’s ashes - this was still a great Aussie team and there were 4 rediculously exciting tests.
Super Saturday.
Disappointed that me doing a sub-3 marathon wasn’t on the list, to be honest.

That's the one for me, the drama of it was off the scale
Super Saturday includes a gold for a bloke who improved dramatically for eating Quorn and absolutely nothing to do with his drug cheat coach, the Ashes was great but in the cold light of the day we won a 2 horse race for this first time in years and the Man utd treble can absolutely get in the bin.
I'd have the cricket world cup out of that list and the rugby as a close second. They were 2 wins in World cups that will go down in history.

The most curious thing..
Murray at Wimbleblebleble because up to then British pat ball was crap.

As an oldie, July 66, winning the World Cup will always be the peak.

Memo to self, read the instructions
Ashes 2005 for me. Two brilliant sides full of real characters and playing great cricket. And growing up and loving cricket in the 90’s, it was a day I thought would never come.
I loved that summer.

Dunk's winner at Fulham outdoes Murray's. Centre back carries the ball into the oppo area and is onhand to head in the rebound. Iconic.

Englands women winning the Euros and then coming so close to wining the WC last year, far bigger than the men's 66 WC win.
