Best non-football sporting moments.

[Octavian]

Good picks apart from the cricket. The only cricket game I got really excited about was the Botham Willis ashes one.

I think away from footy the Ryder cup and Olympics throw up the best moments.

That and David Bryant fingering his ball next to Jack.

Ahh the uncultured among us ;-)

I missed your last reference!

Bryant was lucky that hard drives didn't exist in his day!

5 minutes and 8 seconds of pure snooker genius...



It took Cliff Thorburn that long just to break off.

McEnroe’s destruction of Connors in the 1984 Wimbledon Final. As close to Tennis perfection as you will ever see.

Crisp giving Red Rum 2 stone in the 1973 Grand National and losing by a length. No better performance by any horse ever in the GN IMHO.

McEnroe was the greatest player I’ve ever seen. Pure poetry at the net. Sublime touch.

I went playing football with our kid in’81 on the school field having given up all hope in the Ashes. Only to see one of my school mates come hurtling down the path screaming , “Willis! Willis! Willis!”.
