Most iconic sports photos

Best try of all time?

Haha, I was looking for that this morning. Mike Catt getting by steamrollered by the Lomu Express.
I'm not a huge Rugby fan but that is a World Cup that sticks in my mind because of Lomu and how most of us had no idea who he was or what we were about to witness. That first game against Ireland and the commentators shock that Lomu was actually playing on the wing.

The real shock was how such a big guy could move so damn fast.
 
It's almost as boring as cricket.
I love my cricket but to huge chunks of the world, it's irrelevant. Same as baseball, ice hockey, basketball and US football, sorry PS 🤷‍♂️. They can have iconic photos within those sports but how far do they travel?

If you are talking about iconic photo's there are ones within the sport and those that expand beyond.

I agree although back in the day that save from Banks not only sent shock waves around the world about how it kept it out but also forged a friendship that lasted a lifetime

It was a World Cup so, like the Tardelli celebration, it had worldwide impact. I think people outside of the UK and Brazil would know that moment.
