The Aztecs chopping off people's heads and playing football with them.

 

[Uncle Buck]

germany 1 england 5

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

I was there that night.

A few days in Prague, overnight train to Munich, a day on the beer in Munchen, then off to the Olympic Stadium to see England win 5-1 and even Heskey scored.

 

[Horney]

1) Ali v Frazier...Fight 1 ( Madison Sq Garden )..The biggest fight in history
2) World Cup Final 1966 ( Watched it at home )
3) Bob Beamon's long jump...Mexico 1968....when athletics gasped in awe.
4) Dick Fosberry's first flop at Munich 1972...when one man changed an established event forever.
5) Randolph Turpin v Sugar Ray Robinson...world middleweight title...Earls Court 1951...the greatest victory for any British fighter.
6)Red Rums 3rd Aintree triumph in 1977.
7)Bannister's 1st sub 4 minute mile.
8)Henry Cooper v Cassius Clay...Wembley 1963
9) Steve Davis v Dennis Taylor..Final frame..World Snooker Final 1985
10) Eric Bristow v Keith Dellor..World Darts Final circa 1985...the great man played safe and watched as the unknown finished on 138.

There you are...my top ten ( and when I wake up tomorrow I'll probably think of another 10 )...oh shit..just remembered that try...Barbarians v New Zealand 1973 ( Gareth Edwards )

I would go for seeing Jesse Owens winning his gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, giving a big up yours to Adolf, pity it took another nine years to get rid of the short arsed Nazi ****.

 

[Cian]

Can't find a decent video of it online but I've got the entire match on DVD here somewhere. Ireland vs. Romania, WC1990. The nation holds its breath...

saw it on TV but I was very young at the time so its not like I could realistically understand what was happening.

 

[looney]

That black dude winning the 100 metres at the 1936 Olympics in front of Hitler.

[aberllefenni]

More like part of an event than the whole thing - the Gareth Edwards try for the Barbarians v New Zealand

 

[withdeanwombat]

Shrewsbury Town 18 - Wellington 0, Shropshire and District League 1890.

That was never a penalty,and number 15 was two yards offside.

1)
10) Eric Bristow v Keith Dellor..World Darts Final circa 1985...the great man played safe and watched as the unknown finished on 138.

you can ask them about it or even play them

Darts players can cash in with Bristow From The Argus)

Yeah, it was much closer than the scoreline suggests, apparently.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

For me, it would have to be the 1966 World Cup Final. Another one would be Maradona amazing goal at the 1986 World Cup against us, apart from the hand of god of course.

 

[Taybha]

1988 calgary winter olympics , the 1st run of the jamaican bobsled team .

a lifetime of missing carlisle away needs to be addressed

Seeing the the protesters practice the javelin/shot-putt at the poll-tax riots.

My grandfather was in the stadium to witness this (as a British observer, not a Nazi, before people start ). Apparently, the number of people spitting at Owens was disgusting.

Rene Higuita's scorpion kick save for Colombia against England at Wembley in 1995.
