Besiktas were robbed. Galatasaray should never have had that penalty

| '99 Champions League final. No doubt.
'That' penalty shoot-out in the '08 was brilliant, going from seconds away from loosing it to win it was fantastic, but I think the '99 was just special!

| Last day/morning of the Edgbaston test of the 2005 Ashes. Absolute despair and head in hands turned into a moment I'll never forget.
On the flip side, I was at the MCG on Boxing Day 2006 when Warne got his 700th test wicket in front of his home state fans. The bugger. Great moment though.

| Probably won't be on anyone else's radar unless you were there but the game where Barnsley clinched promotion to the Premiership by beating Bradford City was pretty special. We lost the match and despite us being perilously close to being relegated our fans stayed on to celebrate with the Barnsley supporters. Chants of 'Yorkshire,Yorkshire' from all sides of the ground. I remember forum posts from Barnsley supporters at the time saying they had tears in their eyes when they saw the away fans celebrating with them. In turn the Barnsley fans applauded us as our coaches left the ground. You wouldn't see that in Rugby League!

| Quote: John_D "Yeah, but.... Droylsden.... That fat feck Jody Banim was playing for 'em. Just a symbol of how far we've fallen is that. Beating Manchester United at old Trafford 3-0 - now that was good. And it preserved our record of being unbeaten at said ground since 1975. Keith Houchen's penalty against the Arsenal in 1985 as well. Never known an atmosphere like it. The roar when the penalty was awarded to the silence when Keith was stepping up, then another, bigger, roar when it hit the back of the net.
Ah, them were't days.'"
It was more in response to the 'could there be a more thrilling last 3 mins' quote...plus i never saw either of the games above (tho i wasn't born for the nal one tbf) did you watch the re-run of it on...i think eurosports the other day?

Mate I was on a countdown until you mentioned that one . On a seperate note ESPN Classic have been running the York v Arsenal tie all week, now that was proper FA Cup football. A full house, snow on the pitch & late drama. You won't see the like of that again these days.

I'm nothing if not predictable, but it is our most recent glimpse of glory, even though it is now an incredible 12 years ago. Good old Pat McGibbon.
I have seen the Arsenal game in recent times on DVD. No ESPN classic here at JD Towers, so I'll just settle for the memories. I have the enormous pleasure of working alongside Keith Houchen on matchdays at the Crescent. Top bloke.
Graeme Murty's winner against Everton in 1996 was a good one as well. We were on our way out on away goals (1-1 at Goodison in the first leg and it was 2-2 at the time) before he cut in from the right and fired it into the far corner.
I also saw Wayne Hall score with his right foot. That didn't happen often. It didn't happen that often with his left either, now I mention it.

Oh really, that's a shame. Your summation is pretty accurate.

Except something similar did happen at the Galpharm between Hull and Saints fans in 2005

| Of ones I've attended the one that stands out is the Cup Winners Cup semi final 2nd leg at Goodison Park in 1985, Everton v Bayern Munich. 0-0 in the first leg and we went in 1-0 down at half time. I've never experienced an atmosphere like the one in the second half at any other sporting event. I was stood on the Gwladys Street end and all three goals in the second half were scored there. An unbelievable night, subsequently spoilt only by my decision to spend my cash on a weekend in London for the FA Cup final rather than go with my brother to Rotterdam for the CWC final.
Probably my only chance of seeing us pick up a European trophy chucked away for the privilege of seeing a 10 man United beat a knackered Everton side and deny us the treble.

That whole thing was made even more surreal by a coach-load of Barnsley fans subsequently turning up at Valley Parade to support us in our next (must-win) game at home to Charlton a few days later

| Final day of the 92-93 Premiership season:
Oldham 4-3 Southampton
We needed 9 points from 9 in our final 3 games to stay up and hope that Crystal Palace lost their remaining games. After somehow beating Villa and Liverpool, we eked out a 4-3 win on the final day, despite almost throwing away a 4-1 lead and stayed up on goal difference.
I remember being 7 years old, sat right at the front of the crowd while half the fans from behind me stormed the pitch at the final whistle
