just thought it would be interesting to start something like as its one of those disscusions that always happen when you meet different sports fans.

my biggest one would be to say i was there for the 1st and 49th games of the arsenal unbeaten run.

might not sound so amazing but as someone that dosen't have a season ticket etc its pretty cool for me.

I was there when they didn't make it to 50 unbeaten... plus I was in Barcelona when Utd won the Champion's league, plus I was at Brands Hatch when Mansell won his first F1 race.

Was at the last F1 GP at Brands Hatch when Mansell won as my dad had guest tickets from Jaguar. I was only 13 at the time but its one of my best memories being in such an amazing atmosphere as Mansell got the chequered flag. The noise was incredible from the crowd and the cars, Concorde did a low fly past right in front of the grandstand and F1 cars were proper cars and not electronic gadgets back then :cool:

I didn't see you either, strange that.

I'd rather have been at the Arsenal vs Livepool game in 1989 though, that would have been one of those life time memories of I was there.

Not a sporting one, but I was at the airshow when the two Migs crashed into each other.

My dad was gutted 'cos the film had run out in the camera.

I was there B20:(

Yes it is a lifetime memory:( But not what I'd class as my greatest 'I was there' moment:mad:

PS: For the record, it was actually Liverpool vs Arsenal;)

Last ever cup final at the old Wembly stadium.

Last ever cup final at the old Wembly stadium.

I know its been closed for six years, but didn't know they'd changed the spelling too ;).

I was at the last FA cup final at Wembley. One of four FA cup finals I've attended. I know we won, but it was soooo dull.

As for my greatest moment, it would probably be for Di Matteo's goal after 42 seconds of the 1997 FA Cup final against Boro. What a moment! Now, every cup final, I breathe a sigh of relief after 43 seconds that the record remains intact for another year.

A close second would be two fantastic days spent in Stockholm in 1998 before Zola scored the winner in the Cup Winners Cup final.

Oh, but I forget, apparently we have no history :rolleyes:;).

My best sporting-related "I Was There" moment has to be the England-Greece world cup qualifier - the last game where Beckham actually performed for England. But damn he was a god that day! The celebrations after the game seem to last as long as the game itself!

My best "I Was There" moment overall would have to be the birth of my son!

Yep i remember patrick getting a standing ovation. thats what anfield is about, if the performance on the pitch is good they get applauded. Look at zola the liverpool fans adored him he was a fantastic player.

agree with the 1.0 though i was there for that as well:thumb:
