Best games of football you've ever seen?

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

I take full responsibility for the typo and giving that lot a fictitious goal. A large quantity of hobgoblin ale may also have played a part.lol

That first half was probably the best 45 minutes of football I’ve seen us play ever. It was mesmerising

As a fan,Everton v spurs fa cup semi final, 4-1 win.
Possibly because it was so unexpected, l
remember the press gave us no hope against Klinsmann and he's team mates.

Sunderland v Leeds fa cup final, as a youth I think that was the game that totally began my football passion. Everything that day encompasses what I became to love about the game, amazing drama.

Could be wrong but did your sub not score a hatrick that day.
I recently watched the Sunderland v Arsenal semi final through a link on Bluemoon.
Sunderland were even better that day.

Daniel Amokachi famously subbed himself on, told Joe Royle's assistant ,Willie Doherty, ex Man City , the manager wanted him to replace injured Paul Rideout. He was on the pitch before anything could be done by Big Joe.Bagged two late goals , went into folklore history.
Must check out the Sunderland fixture.

Call me an FOC, but Real Nadrid 7-3 v Eintracht Frankfurt at Hampden Park in 1960 was utterly breathtaking. I only saw it on telly, not in the flesh of course.

Th quality of the football, with the goals shared between Puskas an di Stefano IIRC, was beyond anything we'd seen in the UK in those days.

Or is it just distance lending enchantment to the view?

Wonderful game. One afternoon in school they herded all the boys into the assembly hall to watch the recording (the girls were taken off to see a film about the dangers of boys.)

As for games seen live, Hungary v. Brazil at Goodison in the 1966 World Cup, Florian Albert ran the show and had the crowd in raptures. Portugal v. N. Korea at the same ground wasn't bad either.

England vs Turkey.

It was the best game ever, another one of my mates said them same at the time.

The ball was so precious and it was tooth and nail for 90 mins +

Not the best game but the one that early on I was on a downer that got steadily worse up to and including half time. Then the mood started to improve into excitement and then utter euphoria with me and a mate dancing like idiots around my lounge.

FA Cup - Spurs 3 v 4 City

I was there, craziest game I've ever been to live ( I wasn't there in 2012). Wembley 99' is up there too obviously.

Notwithstanding the result, today’s game won’t be under consideration I expect.

Back when the FA cup semi was a passionate affair at big club grounds, back when Wembley was a one off final experience

Daniel Amokachi scored twice right?

I was 10 and have just remembered that. Can't even remember what I had for tea yesterday but can remember Everton vs Spurs from 1995. Fuck me I'm weird.
