Oh god, I could be here all day. In no specific order...
1. Allan Nielsens winner for Spurs in the 1999 league cup final. Totally innocuous match against Leicester, I was on the brink of dozing off it was so bad, then out nowhere in stoppage time all the Leicester players decide to fall over and the ball bounces of Nielsens head and rolls in and just like that, Spurs have actually won a trophy.
2. Nayim, from the halfway line. Comedic mirth at its best.
3. David Beckhams equaliser against Greece to get us in the World Cup. THANK FUCK!
4. Alfonsos winner for Spain against Yugoslavia. All great games need a last minute goal to be truly great and this was the perfect end to the greatest game of football I've ever seen.
5. Perhaps one of my all time favourites, and it's not football. 1992 German Grand Prix. Nigel Mansell leads on the last lap but is clearly experiencing problems. Ayrton Senna in second is closing and Ricardo Patrese in third is closing even faster and looks like he might catch and pass both men. Needing to get past Senna, he makes one final dive past him and in the process overdoes it and spins into the wall, practically handing Mansell the title. Mansell holds on meanwhile and Murray Walker almost wets himself.
