    Mine.... the look on the Mancs faces when goal number 5 sailed over Schmeichel's head......... could almost use that to inspire a username <whistle>

    Nolan's chicken dance in the 5-1.
    We totally humiliated the pigmen from down the road that day.

    Can't argue with the 5-0. But I do think the greatest moment was the Bellamy 3-2 winner against Feyenoord personally. It was the furthest we've ever reached in the biggest continental competition there is..

    Winning 3-2 in Hungary after being 2-0 down at half time in the second leg of the Fairs Cup final.

    Always remember Bob Moncur saying that at half time we were demoralised after being completely outplayed for 45 minutes and Joe Harvey said very calmly " don't worry lads we'll win, score one goal and they'll collapse "

    I was at the Burnley semi-final and it was Colin Waldron hanging of Supermac's back trying to stop him, it looked like he was getting a piggy back. I know memory fades with time but I swear Supermac ran for 40 yards with the bloke hanging off him...<laugh>

    I was there too. It couldn't have been far short of 40 yards. The greatest day of my football watching career. Everything went right for a change.

    Best for me was my wife winning a Fantasy Football competition ( with my help ) meaning she got an all expenses paid trip, along with hospitality and chauffer driven car to the 1999 Cup Final when we played the Mancs. Although the toon didn't turn up that day it was magnificant all the same.

    I was in the stand with the Burnley fans that day. Even now I can't watch a re-run of the goals without a tear of joy in my eyes. THAT ball from Terry Hibbitt for the second!!!!

    Feyenoord match for me too. I was in a pub in Leicester (where i lived at the time) and was the only one in there with any interest in the match. During the first half a few people came over and asked me how things were going then in the second half (when we were pegged back) there began to get a bit of a buzz as neutrals were getting involved (though leaving me alone!) and when Dyer 'missed' there was a colelctive groan followed by a large cheer as Bellamy finished it off. I was getting pats on the back and everything as if I'd actually done anything (other than stand up and scream). I was only 21ish mind.

    Worst memory was similar time, we played away at Leicester and got a 0-0. I went to the match and it was the worst game of football I'd ever seen, there was either no shots on target or 1 shot in the entire game - just dire. Plus i paid £22.50 to sit in the Newcastle end rather than £8 to sit in the Leicester end because I wanted to be able to celebrate...

    Supermac debut hatrick against Liverpool in 1972 was amazing.
    Albert chip against Man U another great night.
    Beating Sunderland 5-1 and the comeback against Arsenal have to be up there.
    But a bit mushy seeing my daughters face the first time she saw the hallowed pitch, truly amazing.

    Albert's chip. It was just perfection in terms of crowning the ultimate performance.
