In all seriousness my answer is just Rugby League Challenge Cup final, can't really think of anything bigger of the top of my head.

 

[mcwildcard]

No you didn't

We did in the league, the only blip in all competitions was Barca and Del Horno should never have been sent off in that game.

 

[Shamikebab]

Tennis: Wimbledon a couple of times and Davis Cup at Wimbledon (not sure if that counts though )

Rugby: A few 6 Nations matches

Cricket: Natwest cup final quite a while ago.

The charity shield is NOT a big sporting event!
It always made me cringe when Jose counted it as a trophy, but apart from that he was always right about everything, EVER!

 

[Youstolemyname]

The charity shield WAS a big sporting event till it became the commuity hugfest.

Back in my day it was big teams playing for a big day out.

 

[el_dazza]

1998 British GP
7 Aston Villa home games
Cheltenham Festival 2002 (was supposed to go in 2001 as well.. bloody foot and mouth)

That's it

Oh.. been to Wembley once to watch England get had by ze Germans. But that was a friendly, so I guess it's not "big"
