Which sporting events stick in your mind?

And it's always much, much sweeter when you pump one of the bigot brothers in the final.

For me it was the 1991 cup final. Dundee United managed by Jim McLean vs Motherwell managed by his brother Tommy. Every pundit condemned it as a non event before a ball was even kicked because there was no old firm involved. Scotrail had laid on a train from Motherwell to Hampden but a mile down the line some cunt pulled the emergency cord. The guard went mental, called us all "fucking animals" and booted us off the train! We all had to troop back along the tracks to Motherwell where it became a whacky races of taxis, cars and buses to get to Hampden. We listened to the start of the match on the radio and it was 1-0 by the time we got in. 2nd half we went 3-1 up but our goalie, Ally Maxwell had been injured and played on with concussion and double vision. United pulled it back to 3-3 at the final whistle taking it into a nerve shredding extra time. We scored early on but near the end a United rocket looked goal bound and through the sea of heads in front of us we saw the paw of Maxwell rise up to palm the ball over the bar. FT 4-3 to Motherwell. From a non event to what is now regarded as one of the best cup finals ever.

The bittersweet aspect was 18 year old Phil O'Donnell who scored one of our goals and went on to have a successful career before returning to Motherwell as many players have. The last game I saw him play was the one in which he collapsed and died from an undiagnosed heart condition. Again memorable but for all the wrong reasons.
