Best Football Moment
Best Football Moment
What is your best football moment?
I'm not talking about your favourite game but the best actual moment.
Something that has stayed with you for a long time.
Mine was during the medal presentation at the 1984 grand final.
I was sitting next to a guy who must have weighed about 140-150kgs (pretty squeezy) and as Tim Watson went up to get his medal, this guy just burst into tears.
I asked him if he was alright and he told me that he had been going to the football for 25 years and this was the first time he seen us win a flag.
Tim Watson was his favourite player and when Tim went up for his medal, the guy was just overcome with joy.
22 years later and I still clearly remember that moment

The 1981 win against Carlscum, (26 points down at 20 min ? mark of last qtr.), watching Fitzpatric getting the free reversed for time wasting, and Neal Daniher kicking another one. I have this image of Rotten Ronny Andrews running off the ground with only one boot on.
If we are not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat ?.
The dons...without a flag since 1965. Clawing their way back to within 5 points at the 8 minute mark of the last term. Burne beats Madden, but the dons hussle it away through Williams. Too far for Baker now he's onto it,nows hes got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ROCKHOLE wrote:1984 Granny and the fabulous Leon Baker puts us in front. Almost brought on a hearty on the spot and I constantly relive it through Tim Lane's call of the gane. (Channel 2 coverage). Craps all over sevens version.
The dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark.........4 goals to Leon Baker!!!!!!!!!
Can I add that Baker/Williams/Weston/Watson shoudl have got the NSM before Duckworth. No disrespect to billy but the selectors got it wrong.

My favourite moment happened in an NRL game...
1999 Melbourne Storm vs Saints
Crowd were understandably pro Saints (along with my dad) and when the Storm were coming back in the second half, these so called supporters really started showing their stuff...I had beer holders, empty poppers, half full poppers, etc thrown at me...not that I baited them or anything![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
For actual football, hard to pick any one, but I remember the first bounce of the Preseason G/F when Johnson ran through the Kangaroos player (can't remember who it was now) and put him out of the game...perfect hip and shoulder straight down the middle of the opponent with no raised arms, head clashes or dirtyness involved![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Your email suggests if your IQ is half mine you must have copied from someone else.

Longy winning the 93 norm smith, played an awesome final series.
Especially those runs up the middle against the crows, a similar run for a goal against carlton and when he was toying with the blues players and sandy roberts says "Take me on, take me on, take me on he says"!!!
Favourite player ever!!!, could have been top 5 don off all time had he not had those knee reco's.
Love to see a good highlights package of him, some of the runs and handballs/knock-ons he did over his career were unbelievable!!!

seeing james hird walk around the MCG during the 4th quarter of the 2000 grand final when he knew we had the flag one. he had the biggest smile on his face, knowing what he had been through to get there in previous years, the emotion on his face, i was 13 years old, he was my hero. the dvd "Against All Odds" highlights this moment
You must remember the match well Rosso, being all of 1/2 years old at the time!Rossoneri wrote:Took forever to type it, I was shaking when typing it.ROCKHOLE wrote:Nice One Rossi,
Just reading Tim Lane's call sends shivers.
Thanks for the memory
I would have been about 3. Its a sensational moment to watch on tape (as I assume you have) but I wouldnt call it my greatest football moment as I didnt see / can't remember it live.
As for mine, ill have to think about it....
Never said it was my favourite, but I do get great enjoyment watching it over and over again.Staggy wrote:You must remember the match well Rosso, being all of 1/2 years old at the time!Rossoneri wrote:Took forever to type it, I was shaking when typing it.ROCKHOLE wrote:Nice One Rossi,

One of my greatest moment was probably Mercuris goals (and the build up to it) in the 93 Prelim in the 3rd quarter. The roar of the crowd was as big as I have heard, ever!
