And just to prove its not a United bias, the Liverpool Milan European Cup Final 2005 was something else

For those who have a country, hard to better witnessing your country win a big game even if technically it was not the best football.

Ireland v Holland 2001 Keane's last hurray, a perfect day.

the rest in order of time
Irl 3 Russia 0 1974, Brady's debut, took over playmaker CM from Giles who went into holding role, almost bigger impact than the stunning result. Rock and Roll.
Irl 1 France 0 1977 Brady genius, we had a dream.
Irl 2 Holland 1 1979 Lansdowne gale & semi darkness, win orchestrated by Brady.

Irl 3 France 2 1981 When Brady had yer man in his pocket all game long
Irl 2 Bulg 0 1987 Brady master performance then gets sent off, game sealed qualification but it was a secret.

Bulg O Scotland 1 1987

Best game on TV
Brazil 1 England 0 World cup Mexico, slow motion excellence.

If it had of been a film you would have said..."That could never happen"

Biggest regret I have of that night is at half time I said to my auld lad I was gonna put money on Liverpool to win on penos! He told me to cop the f**k onto myself
