Dont really watch sports. If England win the world cup in footy then that will be good. Otherwise I cant see the attraction with sports TBH!

Kazz - I've never watched snooker since that final - how could there be anything better, so no need to watch again!

Botham's Ashes
2005 Ashes certainly
RWC 2003
England v N Zealand ? 2000, after England had been going through a pathetic time (again ). No-one thought England had a prayer. Finished 26 - 26. I was there at Twickenham!
England v N Zealand (again) at Old Trafford. We were there, in the Man Utd directors box and hospitality suite! Fab
Rugby World Cup 1991 (i think?) USA v Argentina at Kingsholm, Gloucester.

Lots more - I love the eperience of 'being there'

I share your feelings too Donna!!

I may have shared this before, but I come from a sport mad family (except my lovely mum!) Well, this sports event didn't grip the world, but it did my world at the time! My family are staunch QPR fans and they were in the Cup Final on my wedding day in May 1982. My brother & sister and 2 uncles all went to the match in preference to my wedding!! Thankfully my dad didn't go and my sister says she since regretted her choice! I have forgiven them now!
