[Other Sport] Defining Sporting Moment of the last 30 years (BBC Poll)

[Wardy's twin]

Stockdale's double save penalty against Sheffield Wednesday...

 

[Seagull58]

Wow! Nine incredible selections there. Difficult choice. Redgrave or the Rugby World Cup for me.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Stokes absolutely lacing it through the covers against the Aussies in 2019.

 

[Eeyore]

And where's the option for Billy Gilmour's MoM masterclass in Scotland's 0-0 win over England at Wembley at Euro 2020?

That 0-0 victory for Scotland will forever be enshrined in sporting history. Along with them winning the 1978 World Cup and the celebratory postage stamps.

It's a tough one, I remember Super Saturday as something special. But it depends on which sport you follow. The 2005 Ashes is in there, a series where England got lucky at all the key points including McGrath turning his ankle in the warm ups at, I think, Edgbaston. I'd say the 2010/11 victory in Australia was bigger.

The 2019 World Cup was a wonderful occasion.

See, nearly all mine are cricket. Subjective.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Cantona kick?

 

[Frutos]

Super Saturday for me.

 

[studio150]

Went for the Cricket world cup win. It must have been good as even my wife was getting excited and she doesn't like cricket.

 

[m20gull]

From that list I would probably choose Murray at Wimbledon, with the Rugby WC a close second. But for me, Wiggins in the yellow jersey leading out Cavendish in Paris for a British team is a clear winner.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Redgrave,Holmes and not a great Golf fan but Ryder cup win.

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

Ulloa v Forest is when my life peaked.

 

[The Clamp]

England taking the ashes in 2005.

Quite an overlooked one I think .

I was in Berlin with mates when we heard the result. Many, many drinks ensued.

 

[Eeyore]

Last 30 years...

Possibly can't remember the last 30 years

 

[Badger]

I never quite got the euphoria around Super Saturday. It's possibly because I was at a Stag do and kind of half watched it on screens in pubs.

I think the Cricket World Cup just shades it over the Rugby World Cup for me.

 

[Mackenzie]

The 2005 ashes for me. A great summer of sport.

 

[Me Atome]

2005 Ashes win; I remember following the scores on my computer at work at a time and place where it really wasn't the done thing! Also, 2003 Rugby World Cup win. (Don't like rugby but that was a bit special).

 

[nwgull]

Ulloa v Forest is when my life peaked.

Nah, we were brought back to earth with a massive bump the next week. Could've been even earlier with Burnley having to do a good 5 minutes of backs-to-the-wall defending at the Madjeski once Reading realised we'd gone 2-1 up - which is probably the only time in my life I've liked Burnley!

 

[Bry Nylon]

Super Saturday for me.

That’s good to hear. What have you been up to?

 

[A1X]

England taking the ashes in 2005.

Quite an overlooked one I think .

I was in Berlin with mates when we heard the result. Many, many drinks ensued.

I think, bar Edgbaston, it’s because it lacks “the moment”.

Wilkinson scoring the drop goal. Buttler whipping the bails off. The Rose / Kaymer putts. Djokovic putting it in the net. The Mobot.

The 2005 Ashes was incredible but, ultimately, a slow burn all summer and it ended in the drizzle with the umpires declaring a draw, not Flintoff knocking over Warne to seal it. Put the Edgbaston test last and it gets the kudos it deserves IMHO.

 

[The Clamp]

That’s good to hear. What have you been up to?

Superb

 

[dangull]

Wigan beating mega bucks Man City in the FA Cup final deserves a mention. Actually, Leicester winning the PL will probably talked about next century.
