All time classic must be Scott Gibbs scoring THAT try against england at wembley. I was there....

Ok not really sporting but neither was the Shell woman who refused to serve me just because I was completely arseholed.

Honestly, two pints and I'm anybody's...

You're lucky! When I got refused service in Portsmouth an argument started which ended with me punching a bouncer and then being being unconscious in the car park!

England NZ one dayer at Old Trafford mid-80's - rained off completely but I had a free pass into the Shell Beer Tent and let's say I made the most of it.

This was a memorable day..........for Swindon and Glenn Hoddle assisted by Scotsman John Gorman anyway. My last trip to the Old Wembley too.

FTFY, how did you miss it?

I saw Lionel Messi score 5 goals in a Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen last year in the Nou Camp. He was completely unplayable.

I was at the 1995 Bolton Reading Play Off Final, 4-3. 2-0 down and a penalty against us after about 25 mins and Keith Brannigan saved it. Whole atmos changed and the rest is history (in Bolton).

Managed to get to Edgbaston in time to see Brian Lara's last 50 runs in the 501 world record.

England v Australia 1998-1999 Ashes in Melbourne - England won by 12 runs with Dean Headley and Darren Gough removing the lower order for for about 10 runs whilst Steve Waugh watched in horror from the other end.

South Africa v Australia WC Semi-final Edgbaston 1999 - Saffers blew a winning position and scores were tied after Allan Donald ran himself out.

England V Australia Edgbaston 2005 - all 4 days. Without question the best game of cricket I ever saw and England winning by 2 runs when all seemed lost.

You can probably tell I'm a cricket fan (Warwickshire member) but I seem to have been lucky enough to see some pretty good games over the years.

Yes. Paula Radcliffe in the London Marathon in 2005.

She stopped at the side of the road where I was a spectating and pee'd on my shoes.

She then stood up, regrouped and went on to win.

A classic.

(EDIT: I still have those shoes. I've never washed them. They will go to my children.)
