Greatest Sporting Moments

[pesky1972 5,791]

Like a lot on here I love a bit of sport, and what I probably enjoy most are those precious moments which have the hair stand up on the back of your neck or get you up on your feet…, and where you realise that you’re witnessing greatness in real time. By greatness I mean not only an individual’s talent, but maybe a team that achieved immortality by doing something great. What are yours?

When charts sees this ...he's going to say Newcastle beating Liverpool the other week...

But Wimbledon beating Liverpool in the 87 fa Cup is bigger I think..

The trilogy of fights between Ali and Frazier. I've watched them dozens of times and the hairs on the back of my neck always rise. I will admit to  tears in my eyes as well. Drama , pride, pain,respect, exhaustion. They made history. The desire to be number one in the world was more important than money to them. Awesome fights.

And the way they did it. Getting into their heads and totally psyching them out.

I’m too young to have watched them live. There have been loads obviously but top of my head some of the best fights I’ve watched live might be Benn v McClelland, Morales v Barrera.., and a domestic fight between Jamie Moore and Matt Macklin.

Pretty sure the game wasn’t a classic but the moment was enormous. I was on holiday in the highlands with the missus and two very young kids, in a sweet shop where they had the game on the radio. I knew Murray was close to the finish line and so I apologised to my missus and set off at a sprint to a packed hotel bar at the other end of the village. I had to see it live. Incredible scenes in the bar.
