Being down at Millmoor to see Rotherham United beat Brentford, and getting promoted to Division 1 in 2002 after so many years of mediocrity was sweet

Watching the Miami Dolphins beat the New York Jets in New York on the final game of the season this year, 1 year after going 1-15, to 11-5, and winning the AFC East Title. Best thing was, that our quaterback, Chad Pennington, was cut by the Jets just 2 weeks before the season started to make way for Brett Favre, he came back to the Meadowlands and led the Dolphins to victory

also what about being present at any notorious events eg. the man utd v palace game when cantona kicked the fan, or the hansie cronie fixed test match (what do you mean there was more than 1?) or perhaps the benn v mcclellan fight.

by the way i was staying in nottingham in 1989 and went to see forest play qpr in the lesser cup whatever it was called at the time (worthington i think). this was of course the notorious game when the fans invaded the pitch and clough hit 2 of them
