Good choice. I wasn't at York, but i was at Ascot for the QA. I could have added this race, but actually i could add quite a few, as i guess we all could given some thought.

Was Stafford Bingley Hall that i saw them in 76 but you get the gist, wonderful live, every song perfectly played and sang, impossible to differentiate from the studio records!

Frankel Queen Anne for me

Brilliant arc winner Andrew seldom mentioned in the greats but he should be.

Only very young but......

Lawrence Rowe scoring a triple century Vs England at the Kensington Oval , Barbados in 1974 , ( poetry )


Border Incident winning the 1977 Embassy Chase Final at Haydock beating Bunker Hill & Tied Cottage amongst other useful chasers. ( fav horse of all time )


Captain Christy winning the 1975 King George at Kempton by 30 lengths from the great Bula  ( spectacular doesn't do it justice )


Three never to be forgotten experiences 

What a tough question that is, I could pick one of several from different sports and change my mind tomorrow.

If pushed, I would say Devon Malcolm bagging 9 for 57 against South Africa at the Kennington Oval in 1994.

It was an amazing, almost surreal day of sport.

JFK speech....

Madhatters getting out of Fraudy's back passage and Ryanwe being arrested getting out the back of a sheep and the Police Officer accepting it was less embarassing than being being caught getting out of the back of rico's Tranny and a warning as long as he did not do it again.

Ryanwe promised on the Tranny but accepted the sheep would always be in danger!!!

As a 12 year old my uncle took me to the Oval for a Sunday league game against Somerset.  My hero, Viv Richards was playing and he didn't disappoint. Knocked a hundred off 60 balls.

Tiznow v Giants Causeway.

In my view Viv Richards was the new Lawrence Rowe 


Sorry Brandy couldn't resist saying that following my earlier post   

Ed moses 400 hurdles at Gateshead. Most impressive
athlete I ever saw.


Steve cram beating said ouita in nice
over 1500m to break world record, we were
right at finish line. Best race i ever saw.

Frankel by a mile and music, George Michael group 1.

Op.. Great choice

I played golf with mk's uncle Kingsley, who gets some
credit for sparking mk's musical career.

Back in 1957, I got on the tube to White City to go and watch the Athletics, a boyhood passion. I paid the entrance and bought my penny cushion and sat on the steps and waited. Like most others, I was waiting to see if Derek Ibbotson could run the mile in under 4 minutes, which was still a great achievement back then. Ibbotson didn't disappoint, he clocked a new World record, the crowd went mad and I went home knowing that I'd just seen something very special. I've seen some great live performances since, but that was the first.
