Which major Sporting event would you go back too

[Deleted member 15344]

It was a question raised on Talksport

If you could pick a sporting event in your lifetime that you could go back and watch in the stadium which would it be

For me there are three events

1. The Rugby World Cup Final in 2003

2. The CL Final in 2005

3. Ryder Cup in 2012 at Medinah

1995 Rugby World Cup Final

 

[Steve Wilkes]

Super Saturday at the 2012 Olympics

Super Saturday at the 2012 Olympics

I was lucky enough to be there and it was I've never experienced an occasion like it. I think it was the first time I'd been to a sporting event where everyone in the stadium wanted the same person to win and the noise in there was just awesome

Olympiastadion, Munich 30/05/1979
Forest 1 Malmo 0

Super Saturday at the 2012 Olympics

Good shout. 2012 is a year I'll always get teary eyed about. We did such an amazing job of the Olympics and it was truly a special time to be alive (and British)!

Your number 1 is mine too. My son was born the next day and is called Jonny. ?

I’d also like to go back to The Open in 2009 and on the 18th, quietly sidle up to Tom Watson and whisper that even though it might look like an 8 iron, hit a 9 to account for the adrenaline.

I guess I’d also like to go back to Agusta and watch Seve win a green jacket.

The Rumble in the Jungle.

What a tough decision. "In your lifetime" gives me such a big choice. "In the stadium" rules out golf, then.
Don't feel the need to see 1966 world cup final again, although that was what came first to my mind.

1. I would love to see Anne Packer win the 800m 1964 Olympic gold. Her favoured event was the 400m, but she won silver in that one.
2. Dave Wottle winning the 800m 1972 Olympic gold.
3. And Bob Beamon in 1968 Olympic long jump.

Port****th v Saints fa cup 1984
Any other game when we've beaten that lot

1, slightly cheating because the question states in your lifetime, but I'd love to have seen Don Bradman in the flesh. The MCG is iconic and he scored multiple hundreds there against England. Pick any one but wikipedia rates his 270 in 1937 so I'd take that one.

2, just. Brazil v Italy 1970 World Cup final. The vibrancy of the colours, the players on show, the goals ?

3, 1988 Seoul Olympics, mens hockey final. GB won, it was massive for all male hockey players and clubs at the time. I saw it with my team mates at our club, it would be great to have been there.

 

[larmen]

1990 World Cup final
1984 Olympic opening ceremony (jet man)
Super bowl (the comeback one a couple of years ago)

Christians v the lions

England Rugby World Cup Final win
Tiger Woods US Open win at Pebble Beach 2000
The Ben Stokes Test match
The Watford v Leicester play-off semi, just the last 2 mins...

 

[Fade and Die]

England V Australia 1981 Headingly. Botham and Big Bob making history.

 

[ADB]

Japan vs SA in the 2015 Rugby WC - friends who were there said it was an unbelievable atmosphere

No memory of it - I was a foetus, but great shout.
The Carlos Alberto goal and it's build up sum up the easy brilliance of Brazilian football which, as a kid, made me wish I was South American. One of my all time favourite goals.

 

[Beezerk]

Euro 96 England Vs Scotland.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Euro 96 England Vs Scotland.

Also an England home match...

1967 England vs Scotland Home International ... with Slim Jim (Baxter) playing keepie-uppie as part of a great Scotland team beating the World Champions on their own patch.

It might dispel some of the myths that has grown over the years if you watch it again?

England played with 10 men for most of the game as Jack Charlton was injured early in the game, it was a close game with England hitting the bar late on, as for Slime Jim doing keepie ups I could have done that as there was no one around him at the time just a bit of showboating ?

Also you failed to quilify out of the group ?

But you did beat the World Champions?
