Marvin Hagler beating Tommy Hearns by KO in 85.
One of the greatest fights ever

No answers about the City connection to Tokyo 1964 in my O.P. on p. 1; or is it too easy?

For even more FOC stuff, Peter Collins of Belle Vue Aces winning the speedway championship. And even before him, Peter Craven, R.I.P. Remember hearing the news of his crash on the radio, think it was the first time someone I "knew" had died.

That rugby game when Wilkinson won it with a drop kick.

Jason Robinson's try vs Australia



Emma Raducanu ridiculous US Open win.

Men's team sprint final in Beijing, particularly with the BBC commentary that I can't find.



Usain Bolt's 100m win where he celebrates about 20 metres before the finish line.

Dame Kelly Holmes winning gold in the 800and 1500metres at the Athens Olympics in 1984, when it seemed that injuries would defeat her talent.
Still brings a tear to my eye after all these years.

Jesus how fucking old is she!?

Jesus how fucking old is she!?

Sorry Nick - I added 20 years onto the Athens date - it was 2004.
She's 52 now.
My brain is 128.

Not technically a sport but on a personal level, yesterday has to be one of the best days of my life in terms of physical achievement. Walked 100km for charity, moving time 21 hours. So glad I did that and hopefully the start of a few more physical achievements.

Fantastic achievement. Where did you walk from to?

I ran my first trail Ultra Marathon this year, 42 miles (67km), I was buzzing for days afterwards.

Mike Hailwood returning to the Isle of Man TT in 1978 after being away from racing bikes since 1967, and winning it.

The Ashes victories in 1981 and 2005.

England winning the rugby world cup in 2003.

McEnroe beating Borg at Wimbledon in 1981.

Great Britain winning the Hockey gold medal at the Olympic games in 1988. I played with one of the medalists at club level, and had his medal in my grubby hands when he paid us a visit a short while after their victory.

That crazy Saturday night during the London olympics when we won a gold medal every half an hour or so. I was in the pub, and what a satisfying night that was. Sheer joy all round.

The third goal led to the classic line from Barry Davies on commentary:
“WHERE, oh where were the Germans? And frankly, who cares?”

Nothing like a totally unbiased commentator!
