I'm a Liverpool fan, but Michael Thomas' goal in the last minute of the '88-'89 season to win the league has got to be up there. What a way to win the league!

The greatest non gaa sporting moment for me was Eamonn Coughlan winning the 5000m at the world athletics championships in 1983. The smile on his face as he came round the last bend was a joy to behold.

Stephen Roche completes the treble of Giro D'italia, Tour de france, and World Championship all in one year, only ever done before by Eddy Merckx.

For me, it was when Ireland beat England in the 6 Nations in 2004. I was in a traditional England pub, in Brentwood, Essex. Surrounded by the English taunting about the Fortress Twickenham. I just waited, for a knew my moment would come.... and it did. ;)

Of all the live non GAA games I've been at this was the one that gave me the most goosebumps...





France - Ireland in the Stade De France is a close second...
