AwFuL - Hawthorn vs Adelaide 1993 Elimination final (some bizarre reason that's my earliest memory of AFL, probably cos my dad got free tickets from his work to go, so he took me and my brother)
Football - vaguely remember watching South Melbourne Hellas vs Melbourne Croatia 1991 NSL Grand Final on TV as a 5 year old, seeing Hellas win on penalties 5-4.
The first 'greatest' game I remember watching in AwFuL was Hawthorn vs North Melbourne 1994 (I think) drawn qualifying final which went to extra time. I can't even remember who won - I think it was North Melbourne (my brother was a Hawthorn supporter hence all these references to going to Hawthorn games lol)
The first 'greatest' game I remember watching in football was the 1993 World Cup qualifier between Australia and Argentina, first leg in Sydney where the Socceroos came from 0-1 down to hold Argentina to a 1-1 draw. We only lost 1-0 in Buenos Aires via an own goal, so to only lose 2-1 on aggregate to Argentina over 2 legs was a pretty fucking decent effort.
