Post some for me please, any sport from any era, just great sporting moments.

Was trying to find some footage of the England 6 man scrum vs NZ (1990?) but can't. 

Will go with this to start with

1st time I ever jumped out my seat for a goal that didn't involve Celtic.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jiBIdtUKhs

then the 2nd time...

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vk4vOOg670

Prime example of why they got rid of the back pass!

That Flintoff over was so brilliant, just one of many highlights from him.

Arsenal goal incred obv

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0GESlaVNdE

You just knew he was going to score!

At 5Min 30...I can't remember ever cheering this much;

Until this moment in the next game;

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0NT6aUwN8c

Was in a bar in Amsterdam watching this, all the locals stood up and applauded the goal despite being the same group. Was incred at the time.

Fk me, man after my own heart.

Wilko number 1 for me, and I was there at Trent Bridge when England effectively won that Ashes.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKs3DZv5-S8

(best watched with the sound off as it's not in sync!)

Good shout...all I thought when watching this was "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"

How did i forget this. Easily the most replicated goal in my garden growing up as a kid.

Lol gtfo, you must be older than me  :D

haha. faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack you. 12 yrs old when i watched that. (although i did get served 20/20 from the age of 13, so fair comment)

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgpA0S2Ciqo

This moment was was so great all sport should have been stopped after this as it can't possibly be beaten.

Although to be fair I had said the same thing a couple of weeks earlier

USA unbeaten in Olympic Basketball for nearly 40 years....

If we are going to have the above, we have to have this as a complement to it!

and

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VI-M9Yw-28

Maybe not moments, the 2nd one is deffo worth watching if you have not seen it.

good shout

and on the underdogs theme how about

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRg428nAuEo

Great stuff, keep 'em coming.  That's most of my evening sorted :D  Dunno why I didn't post the Arsenal one Celtic posted, gutted not to have thought of it but what a goal that was.

i could post loads of athletics ones but i remember this so fondly, can't remember why but there was a load of us watching it in our house, everyone pretty subdued expecting the inevitable USA walkover, by the last 100 metres there was a room full of people jumping up and down shouting so loudly they could probably here us in the stadium.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhiVdReN6uw

Athletics is great for 'moments' like that.  So many through the years, such as Ben Johnson v Carl Lewis, Kelly Holmes winning her first (and indeed her second) gold, Zelezny in the javelin, Daley Thompson in the decathlon.  Loads of them.

Was going to post some boxing ones as well.  Was thinking about Leonard v Hagler, or Leonard v Duran II.  Also any of Tyson's early fights, as he was a phenomenon.  I remember getting up in the middle of the night to watch the boxing with my dad, and then the fight being finished before the kettle had boiled for a cuppa.

The Ward v Gatti wars - great, punishing fights.

Naz v Kevin Kelley was an incredible fight for the excitement.  Both fighters flawed in the way they fought, but that's what made it an incredible 4 rounds. 

If you've got 15 minutes to spare, worth watching again:

Hard to find a 'moment' for Tiger, this is prob closest

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLKXvGE6kN8

yeah, that was so brilliant.

Last December when we had Australia 2-3 or summit was unbelievable, amazing scenes.

My most enjoyable sporting day for me was when we beat them lot 5-1 at home, I never though I'd ever see Newcastle fans celebrating a Sunderland goal, haha, what a day.

Whilst England won the WC in 2003, I think the best rugby they played was in the 2-3 years in the build up to that where they pretty much beat all comers home and away. I think they had actually just gone very slightly past their best at the WC but were still good enough to win obv as winning was a habit for them at that point.

Greatest finish of an American Football game back from John Elways college days

Daniel's crane kick.  Gives me goose bumps even 27 years later.  That took bottle.

For sheer techinical brilliance, we had a thread a while back regards 9 dart finish versus hole in one, both worthy contenders for hardest to achieve and then the power does this:

Loved that horse.

Best commentary - Harry Carpenter - rumble in the jungle, makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck even now. Awsome.

I was there!

Deffo the most famous moment I have witnessed in person.

The 2 9 darter's from Taylor was a bit special.

This was pretty incred too...

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McThDshEgU0

Sigh. The 2 most memorable "famous moments" in sport I was there for was Eng v WI where all 4 innings took place in one day at Lords (started off with Darren Gough catching Sherwin Campbell at 3rd Man iirc ... Oh and this:

Just found this link in my favourites: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4010137.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4010137.stm)


I was at that game, superb goal from Ursell to equalise. I was also at the game 3 matches later which ended the unbeaten run at 78 games - think that could stand for a very long time :)

So glad you posted this, I think this is one of the most underrated easily forgotten British successes in recent years, I remember a bunch of us jumping up and down in our house too.

Nowhere near a greatest moment, but instantly thought of Steve Davis rolling back the years against Higgins last year.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3tGBgZJn2M

Personal favourite. I remember watching this with my family just willing Frank to stay on his feet in the final round.

Thanks guys.

I must admit I was quite surprised to see it was nearly a year.

Still, as the old saying goes: "a break is as good as a rest" or something like that.

Happy new year!

Easy to forget how good American boxing was in the respective eras
