Did anyone see the program on C4 last Saturday ?.
I was amazed that Steve Redgrave finished No1. Don't get me wrong, what Redgrave did in winning 5 gold medals was truly amazing and he would have certainly been high on my list - but surely a rowing event can not go down as THE greatest sporting moment.
In my opinion the way to gauge this would be to consider the public reaction to the event. How many people watched Redgrave win in Sydney ?, how many people will remember that moment for the rest of thier lives ?, how many people were dancing in the streets ?.
Anyone who was around when Geoff Hurst scored that hatrick for England in the World Cup will never forget the moment, they will always remember where they were and will surely never forget the 'feel good' feeling that swept the country after Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy. Those of us from a younger generation had a glimpse of how it might have been during Euro96. I am sure most people will also always remember where they were when England beat Germany 5-1 recently. How many of us, in 10,20,30 years time will recall vivid memories of Redgraves 5th gold medal in Sydney ?.
My top 12 would be :
1. England 1966 world cup win.
2. McEnroe-Borg Wimbledon final in 1980
3. Ali-Foreman Rumble in the Jungle
4. Germany 1 England 5
5. Steve Davis - Dennis Taylor World Snooker Final
6. Steve Redgrave 5th Gold Medal
7. England 4 Holland 1 (Euro96)
8. Gazza's goal against Scotland (Euro96)
9. Tourvill and Dean getting the straight sixes.
10. Michael Thomas championship winning goal in '89
11. Goran Ivanisevic Wimbledon win in 2001
12. Maradona's 2nd goal v England in '86 Mexico world cup.

Owens goal was good, but it aint in the same league as Maradona's one.

Yes it was a great strike, but Beckham has scored many goals similar and England won a game 2-1 against a Greek side which should have been beaten more convincingly. This would get into my top 100 but not anywhere near the top 20.

How can you not include Micheal Owens wonder goal against Argentine? Surely, that was a moment which people will never forget
