    "can Manchester United score? they allways score" sends shivers down my spine.

    The Peter Martin radio commentary on Radio Clyde always cracks me up

    For me it has to be either Declan Drake in the Shels -v- Hadjuk Split game, where he started singing along with La Bamba, or Paul Doolin saying Wes Hoolahan sent Mauro Silva out for an Evening Herald. Two classic moments in the space of a week.

    Well most things george hamilton has ever said
    I always recall Kevin Keegan legendry line when england played romania in the world cup, "only 1 team going to score now"
    But winner will always be this

    The best for me was during the England v Argentina peno shootout in France 98. Brian Moore puts Kevin Keegan on the spot (excuse the pun) by asking him will David Batty score his? King Kev replies "Yes" a little too emphatically and Batty inevitably misses. Brilliant.

    A Mr. J. Magee from Co. Louth came up with gem in 1986....

    "Different class...... different class.... DIFFERENT CLASS!!!"

    Maradona's second goal against England in Mexico. (the one after the Hand of God, of course!)

    Same game, same goal... Byron Butler of BBC Radio came up with this...

    "Maradona, turns like a little eel, he turns away from trouble. Little squat man comes inside Butcher - leaves him for dead - outside Fenwick - leaves him for dead - and puts the ball away. And that is why Maradona's the greatest player in the world."

    Also, Alan Green commentating at the end of the 1999 Champions League final. Hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention.
