Not sure if any of these have been mentioned, apologies if it's repetition.
2005 Ashes - Jones holding that catch of Kasprowicz to win the Test. It was one of those couple of hours of cricket that had everything, Australia coming out seemingly beaten, Warne clouting us about, then he treads on his stumps, England need one wicket, a dropped catch, five wides, then that moment. I don't think I've ever been happier than that moment.
Alan Hunte try Warrington v Salford, 2000 Challenge Cup QF. Must have been the 86/87th min, there'd been loads of stoppages, video ref decisions etc, Hunte scores in the corner, kind of doing a cartwheel to win the game for us, cue unbelievable scenes in the terraces, people hugging folk they didn't know etc, just brilliant.
Footballs a tough one. Loads of goals that you remember, or the atmosphere or where you were y'know, but difficult to seperate them. I think one goal for 'How it made me feel' that I remember vividly was probably Owen vs Argentina in '98, I just thought that was a special moment, probably because it wasn't instant, you were with him from the moment he picked the ball up on halfway, and by the time he sent himself wide and you thought Scholes was going to puth is foot through it he then produced that finish, amazing.
Mad actually, this threads quite thought provoking, things you remember. I remember crying as a kid when Waddle blazed over against Germany. I remember my Dad couldn't believe how Linekar hadn't equalised in '86 against Argentine from a Barnes cross, to this day I think it's probably the best piece of defending that I've seen.
Think it was also the longest bender I've ever been on, starting at something like 8 in the morning watching the fa cup final in an Irish bar and going right through to about 11 o'clock the next morning.
