    Cameroon. Sure roger was about 73 at that stage and then he went on to play for another 28 years. Father romeo sensini had nothing on him

    Tipperary.

    Because a top class hurling match is better than a top class tennis match.

    I didnt see this years final and would have been more likely to vote for one of the classic Nadal v Federer finals

    That era of hurling was by some distance the best I've ever seen, the skill levels were off the chart to the point where every other county had to adapt to combat it. Tipp take it for me

    The hurling, an absolutely epic final, similar to the year before where Tipp nearly did it

    Also, can't vote for anything where that knob and his haircut of a five year old wins

    Have to vote for the Gaa on this. Federer is my favorite athlete of all time and I’ve still not gotten over it fully

    Tipp vs KK

    Tennis does nothing for me. Hurling is murderball.

    These two will hit you right in the feels

    Has to be Croker. It was poignant and ranks up there. That crossfield GAA style kick was the icing on the cake.

    Ah, that's a mean match up - I nominated Derek Redmond so think I have to go for it, but that Croke Park game was massive, I'd vote for that otherwise

    I'm going for the Ireland game, I found the build up to it a bit ridiculous, it was a rugby game after all but theres no denying the atmosphere and feeling that went with it. Plus we stuffed them

    It's been blocked by the IOC :confused:

    I Googled his story earlier when he was mentioned and it does sound iconic but I have to go with what I know.

    Johnny Wilkinson's drop goal for England against Australia in the 2003 World Cup Final.I could see it coming and to see it actually happen was magic.(And I'm Irish and not the biggest fan of our neighbours across the Irish sea.But that was a moment in sport for me I will never forget.The saying "Here's Johnny" has only one meaning for me.Johnny Wilkinson.

    I've a lot as a huge sports fan but I'm going to go with one maybe a lot of people dont know of ....

    Dave Wattol he was the gold medalist in the 800 meter run at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.

    You should see his documentary on how he suffered so many problems before entering Olympics and got to final ....

    He was dead last way down and managed to climb all way back up field and finished in first ....

    I beg every single one of you to just watch this race and tell me it doesnt make the hairs stand up ....
