What Sporting Moment Do You WISH You'd Witnessed Live?

[1234andcounting]

Probably the 1966 World Cup Final, but, honourable mentions to:
- Jesse Owens multiple golds at the 1936 Berlin Olympics
- Jim Laker's 19 wickets against the Aussies

 

[Rowdey]

Kelly Holmes two gold medals

this one sprang to my mind too.

'Come on Kelly, come on Kelly, you can do it..'

Was that D Coleman ? Whoever, great commentary.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Chelsea v Tottenham - Carling Cup Final 2008.

 

[keaton]

I'd go for 3rd Test in the Ashes in 1981 or the Rugby World Cup final 2003

World Cup Final 1966 - although I did watch it live on a Rediffusion TV my dad got for the occasion. He took it back to the shop after.

Watching Bobby Moore wiping the mud from his hands before shaking HM's hand and collecting the Cup.

I'm with you on that one.
When they scored their second goal the only thing that kept the television from going through the front room window was the knowledge that it was only rented

I would love to have been there

I would entirely agree, were it not for the fact that I was in MSG in person to see that one.

 

[lighthouse]

germany 1 england 5

what makes it worse is that I know soneone who was there. He has now stopped talking about though.......

2008 Brazillian F1 Grand Prix - Lewis Hamilton clinching the championship on the last corner, of the last lap of the last race of the year. Fantastic scenes!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Only saw highlights on the telly, but ...

... Newport County v Carl Zeiss Jena in the European Cup Winners Cup.

Nigel Benn fights

England wining the rugby world cup in Oz

has to be the world cup in '66 for me too !

(the 5-1 was in Munich by the way )

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Watching Wilkinson drop that ball over the posts, knowing that we had secured the trophy, was one of the greatest moments of my life (sporting wise). How much better would it have been if I had traded drink fuelled orgy with the Brighton rugby club in The Bugle for Sydney? A lot!

I was there and it was my birthday so a great present. However, I would say Victoria Pendletons saddle at any event

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

That test at edgbaston in 2005
Usain Bolt olympics 2008
Germany 1-5 England.

 

[BensGrandad]

Having seen Lennox Lewis win in both Maddison Square Garden and Las Vegas, I would love to have seen the Thrilla in Manilla between Ali and Fraser.
