The greatest thing you've seen in football?

Yeah, i've just watched Soccer AM and Tubes question was what's the greatest thing you've seen in football, so here's a thread

Me personally, Boro v Steaua Bucharest 2nd leg 4-2 win, 4-3 aggregate. That last minute goal by Massimo Maccarone. I literally jizzed in my pants.

Honorable mentions go to the 4-3 aggregate win over FC Basel. And the 2-0 win over Lazio the season before that

Probably the highest moment in Boro's history for the next 30 years (And we still got trashed by Sevilla!)

Loads as a Leeds fan game wise.

But one that always sticks in my mind as I was there was beating Liverpool 4-3 and Viduka getting them all, all top class finished too. We were 2-0 down at one point . Was immense.

Too many as a United fan to mention. In recent memory though it would probably be Owen's winner against City last season.

Istanbul
4-0 vs Madrid
Both FA Cups this decade.

Endless list really.

Sadly the Torres vs ManU at Old Trafford was my favourite moment =<

What about one single moment/goal/incident in a match rather than the whole thing?

Or will it be Dudeks heroics against Sheva twice, or Gerrards header =P?

It was 5-3 against Spurs if you're talking about the era when Veron played?

EDIT: Nice EDIT

Some great defending by Liverpool mind

I once saw someone completely all over the pitch. I was amazed.

davecarter · 5 Mar 2011 at 16:15

Gareth Bale for Spurs against Inter for me too

CliffyBiro · 5 Mar 2011 at 16:17

Turning point of Spurs as a club IMO. Instilled the belief that none of the top 4 are unbeatable and was the foundation of our growth in the league. Also, was the competition in which we won our first trophy in years.
