Your greatest " I was there " moment?
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

Not a sporting one, but I was at the airshow when the two Migs crashed into each other.
YouTube - Mig Air show crash
My dad was gutted 'cos the film had run out in the camera.

Yes it is a lifetime memory
But not what I'd class as my greatest 'I was there' moment
PS: For the record, it was actually Liverpool vs Arsenal

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

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!
