Not exactly a major event in sports history but I was at the Spurs v Forest 91'cup final when Gazza did his knee in and stopped us from seeing him turn into an alltime great.If Milford had yellow carded him earlier he might never have got injured.

Yorkshire winning the County Championship at my favourite ground, Scarborough. Having to go into work, negotiate time off and travelling over to the coast on the same day made it all the more worthwhile. If it was easier and 'up the road' at Hedders it would have taken something off it. (That was my second fave tho, similar circumstances for the 2001 test at Hedders, into work first thing arranging time off and up to the ground to see butcher beat the aussies.)

I love Scarborough for cricket.

As an aside anyone else love the Scarborough ground?

I prefer it to hedders, lovely roast of beef overlooking the square (for members) . A few beers in the 'proper' pavilion, players more 'there' than hedders to talk to. Couple of pints over the road and then supper in the Golden Grill then home. A great day out.

Watching George Carmont play live.

Two of the sporting events that stick in my mind areUEFA Champions League Final, Man Utd v Chelsea, 21/05/2008, Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow.

An event that I will remember forever. A great experience. Viva John Terry.

Despite winning 4-3 on the night United were knocked out of the CL. The match lives in the memory for Ronaldo's hat trick and seeing all of Old Trafford rise and give him a standing ovation as he left the field. A surreal moment.

Although I wasn't there the greatest sporting moments I have witnessed on TV include

Maradonas demolition of England in 86 - even as a 6 year old I remember it like it was yesterday - his hand of God goal is still to this day a great sporting moment while his second goal was world class.

Jimmy Glass the goal keeper scoring for Carlisle in the last minute to keep them up.

Sally Gunnell winning Gold in the 92 Olympics.

Man U in 99 and LFC in 2005.

Doed this thread mean ones that you were at?

Christ.

Seen live
Istanbul.
The home semi against Chelsea to get there.
Wide to West....for pure sporting theatre.


Wish I'd seen live
Winning the Ashes in 2005

TV - Healy's goal for OWC against England... Was in Malta at the time.

PM Chris Dalton ans ask, assuming he hasn't exploded after last night

Mansell v Piquet at Silverstone in '87.

Mansell made up 29 seconds in 28 laps to catch and overtake Piquet with one of the best overtakes seen in F1 (a dummy to go outside at the end of Hangar and diving down the inside)

Hillsborough '89

England v Aussies in '82 at Twickenham, otherwise known as the Erica Roe game.

the cricketers pub across the road despite looking like an estate pub did a decent pint of ale and was friendly though i understand it is closed now and may be demolished

meant the thread to be events you witnessed live - and i meant it to be truly great events or notorious ones, but i guess its open to interpretation

that is still the greatest grand prix i have ever seen - was that the one when the fans invaded the circuit afterwards? mansell was a proper sporting hero
