In fairness, 'The Shot' as he refers to it, is a massive moment in a basketball fans list (mine included), you'd need to understand the significance. But this guy isn't a bball fan, he's a troll who's taken a list of moments from a website, of which he's never even seen or understands the significance of. The paddy reference speaks volumes.

Okay, Liverpool "supporter".

ArnoldJRimmer

The miracle at Medinah was pretty class, but Jesse Owens is a part of history. Jesse Owens it is

Rikand

Jesse Owens

gimli2112

Jesse Owens it's debatable if that's his greatest achievement. I think he broke 3 or 4 world records in a few hours at the US Nationals, with a back injury.

Green&Red

Jesse Owens through 7-0

Green&Red

Tipperary stop Kilkenny's drive for 5 in 2010

The first 10 minutes of our first ever international tournament and we score against England, its Euro '88

gimli2112

1988 up to that point my best memory of the Irish team was a Tony Grealish goal against Cyprus

Zaph

Euro 88 without a doubt. The first time we ever qualified for a major finals and we made sure we enjoyed ourselves in case we never qualified for another one.

duffman13

Euros for me too

Collie D

Another Euro 88 vote

Green&Red

Euro also for me

Rikand

Euros

Green&Red

Euro '88 advances 6-0

Green&Red

Maradona scores twice at Mexico '86 V England

V

Sonia finally gets her Olympic medal

Green&Red

Could be another whitewash here. I love Sonia getting the medal but the other is truely an iconic moment

Maradona for me

gimli2112

Yeah Maradona, I'm a little sore this beat the 2005 CL final earlier but he almost signed for us (allegedly) in the 80s and the greatest of all time with the possible exception of Pele imo. 86 was his crowning moment.

Omackeral

Diego Maradona without doubt. Iconic.

Zaph

I was never really a fan of Maradona, but that's one of the most memorable matches ever, so it gets my vote.

Collie D

Maradona

Green&Red

Maradona 5-0 up

Necro

Lets end this, sorry Sonia

Maradona for me

Green&Red

Nice one, Maradona through

Green&Red

Next up

The greatest race ever run, 1988 100m final

Zidanes wonder goal in 2002 CL final

Green&Red

No contest here for me, '88 final is absolute box office for so many reasons. The race itself was unbelievable but the fall out afterwards was huge, nobody from the west had ever really been disqualified, especially not this high profile

Necro

Agree with GnR.

88 final for his reasons cos I'm lazy

Zaph

1988 100m final for me. Despite all the drugs, it was an incredible race to watch.

Tell me how

Most definitely Zidane goal.

88 was mostly famous because of what happened after it and even so, what about it suggests it should be considered one of if not the 'Best' sporting moment.

If we are saving video clips encapsulating how sport can become art, Zidanes moment would be an appropriate example.

Electric Nitwit

ZZ's goal

Drugs disqualify athletes and should disqualify moments

Plus I think I nominated it

I've been away the last few days so haven't kept up here, need to read back to see what madness you guys have unleashed

Green&Red

3-2 to Ben & Co

jasonb

4-2 to Ben and Co, add my vote to the '88 race. I remember staying up to watch it, a long night for a very short race!

OAOB

Maybe not the best sporting moment but the 1988 final will be remembered long after that goal is forgotten so it gets my vote

Collie D

Zidane for me. Excellent strike in a final and no doping.

ArnoldJRimmer

Zidane, a moment of pure magic

Green&Red

Very tight, 5-4 to Ben

Tell me how

See that people? To 'Ben'.
Don't reward the doper!

Omackeral

Given that the Olympics is quadrennial I'll go with that. Champions League is every year and is restricted to Europe. Olympics is every fours years and world wide.

Green&Red

One more

Guys have we all gone mad? Thread title is "Best sporting moments". How can a event with a load of drugs cheats be one of them.

ZZs goal was art and in the biggest club match in the world.

Green&Red

If this gets to 6-6 I'm going to rereg as WADA and vote
