Manus Boyle's point high looping point from out on the left over Mick Deegan to put us 0-15 to 0-9 up in 1992 with ten or twelve minutes left. That's when we knew we were going to win for sure.
Ryan McHugh's second goal v Dublin in 2014 - we could actually win this!
Murphy's goal V Mayo - has there been a better strike in an AI final?
Kevin Cassidy v Kildare (greatest Donegal point ever?)
Istanbul
Stevie G V Olympiakos
Dossena V Van Der Sar (WTF?)
Eli Manning to David Tyree in 2008 Superbowl
Ivanisevic V Rafter in 2001 Wimbledon final
Maradona V England - still the greatest goal ever!

The dribble from the centre circle wasn't bad either ;)

Seamus Derby goal v Kerry
Tyrone v Kerry 05
Jennings v England qualifier 85
David o learys penalty v Romania
Dennis Taylor and the laughter in victory
Alex Higgins and the tears in victory
Barry mc Guigan
Mulligans goal v Dublin
Canavan lifting Sam
Derry v Tyrone 95. The performance of Canavan that day for all those present was greeted as the greatest display by a Gaelic footballer ever.

Ballinaman and Orior - incredible times - I'd struggle to match them on a bike.

A few for me that haven't been mentioned:

Soccer - Gazza's tears, and Messi's second goal v Munich, the 2 Houghton wins. Wim Kieft's header the most heartbreaking moment. Wimbledon beating L'pool in the cup final

Hurling - the drawn final in '14, Galway's 9 point comeback against the cats the same year and 2015 semi v Tipp. '05 semi v Kilkenny and Damien Hayes goal v Tipp in the quarters that year. Offaly v Kilkenny '95 when Offaly hammered them in the rain. Dan the Man's goals in '07.

Boxing - Benn v Mclelland and any of the early Tyson fights.

UFC - McGregor v Diaz was gripping.

Basketball - Jordan v Utah Jazz in that famous finals game, loads from Steph Curry and Russell Westbrook too, who are both superhuman in different ways.

NFL - Patriots v Seahawks final '15 - incredible finish. Bengals v Steelers from last year's playoffs - maybe the most exciting, insane and violent game I've seen in any sport.

Darts  - some of the World finals - Taylor v Painter, Taylor v Barney - while Sid Waddell was still alive. It lost something when Sid died. Also Sky have torn the arse out of it with the Premier League.

Golf - the unsporting, jingoistic Ryder Cups in '91 and '99 were great viewing I thought, and Tiger Woods on the 16th at Augusta in '05. Any of the Tiger majors really. Neither Day, nor Mcillroy nor Spieth interest me in the slightest.

I go with just one, Maradona scoring the 2nd goal against England in 86, it always stands out, even now 30 years of sport later

Aged not very well

1991 - Beating Dublin in the 4th game
1996 - Beating Mayo in the replay
1997 - Devine inspiration vs Kildare in extra time
2001 - Ollie Murphy's last gasp goal against Westmeath in the Qtr-Final
2001 - Hammering Kerry in the semi-final
1999 - Beating Cork to win Sam
2010 - Hammering Dublin
1991 - Losing to Down in the final (sad end to a rollercoaster year)
1988 - Beating Cork to win Sam
2001 - Losing to Galway (You just got the feeling the good times were over)
2002 - Losing to Tommy Lyons' Dublin (we knew for a fact the good times were over)

As much as I appreciate sport when Meath aren't involved, it just doesn't register as high as anything on that list.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Windmill abu

1. Mohammed Ali lighting the Olympic flame in Atlanta 1996.
2. Peter Canavan's free kick in the last minute of the 2005 A.I. Semi Final
3. Mugsy's goal v Dublin 2005
4. Frank McGuigan Captaining Tyrone Minors to 1972 Ulster Championship then coming on as a sub in the senior final. I was 9 years old at the time and thought this was a usual occurence.
5. Charlie George's goal in the 1971 FA Cup Final
6. Alan Sunderland's goal in the 1979 FA Cup Final
7. Michael Thomas' goal i the 1989 League decider between Arsenal & Liverpool.
8. Eamon Coughlan 5000m Final World Championship Helsinki 1983
9. Borg V Mcenroe Wimbeldon Final 1980
10. Yet to come..
Never underestimate the power of complaining
