Here it is at 0:35 in all it's naked glory. You can even pick out the camerman who took the photo. The one on the most extreme left.
League Cup Final March 26th 1983. Liverpool 2-1 Man Utd. No question about it.

Australian Grand Prix 2002
I was 10 at the time and was so psyched up at the beginning of the new season, having really got into F1 the year before. Was in awe how crazy that accident was. Was just looking at Wiki to check a couple of things, where the author described it as 'Ralf's Flying Circus'
For whatever reason really, the younger Schumacher didn't brake on time and ploughed into the back of Barrichello and just took off. Mayhem sues and the rest of the field get caught up in it and drop like flies throughout the race. From the 22 starters, only 6 are classified. Victory for Schumacher senior who had a record season of bagging the Driver's Championship after the 11th race in France.
This race also started a great.. affection of mine for the Minardi team with Mark Webbers' 5th place. The rest is history for him. I even later on joined the official Minardi fan club. Pluckiest underdogs ever. 0 -

Reminds me of the crash in the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix - had to look up the year, but remember the crash. Torrential rain caused a 13-car pile-up on the first lap. The race was re-started with spare cars where necessary - though 4 drivers couldn't take their places for reasons of no car or injury. 3 went out on the first lap of the restart. Wurz and Herbert went out on the first lap twice.
The video is here -
Watch out for a wheel-less McLaren being spun around by its own front tyre, one of the Jordans parking to one side and somehow avoiding all the debris, and someone - possibly Pedro Diniz - coming out of the haze late on to plough into all the cars just when it looked like the chaos had stopped (0:55). I think it's one of the biggest crashes ever in F1.
Damon Hill earned Jordan their first ever race win in the re-start.0 -
Speaking of Weber I always thought his Le Mans crash was spectacular and damn scary.
Of course motorsports darkest day and why Mercedes left motorsport was in Le Mans 1955.
Pierre Levegh's 300 SLR somersualted off the track after hitting back of Lance Macklin's Austin-Healey who had moved across suddenly due to Mike Hawthowrn's Jag entering the pits.
Levegh's car disintegrated throwing bodywork and engine into the crowd killing 82 spectators and injuring over 100.
The rescue workers didn't know how to handle magnesium fires and poured water on it, only making it worse.
An emergency Mercedes board meeting decided to pull out of race and 8 hours after accident Mercedes pulled the cars of Juan Manuel Fangio/Stirling Moss and Karl Kling/André Simon even though they were leading.
Jaguar refused to pull out and Mike Hawthorn won.
Mercedes won the last two remaining sportscar races months later and then pulled out of racing.
Fangio was never to race at Le Mans again.
The death tol led to bans on motorsports in France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany until the tracks could be brought to a higher safety standard.
The ban remains in effect in Switzerland to this day.
The lower parliament passes a repeal in 2007, but was defeated by upper house.
Most of the other pics shows dead bodies and is not for the squeamish.

I just heard about the story of Australias first gold medal in the winter olympics, stephen bradbury won gold in speed skating 1000m after being miles behind coming into the last corner, and the three competitors ahead of him collided and he glided in for gold... In the semi final, he was in the same situation coming into the last! Luck was definitely on his side!0 -

Alistair Brownlee on his way to victory at the London 2012 Olympics triathlon. I thought Gomez might win but Brownlee pulled ahead on the run despite having to train for a number of months in a specially designed pool with a treadmill in it due to a tendon injury.

Sports illustrated cover says it all.
The Great White Shark Greg Norman collapse in 1996 when he blew a five shot lead on final day and let that spanner faldo win.
Sometimes it is not always the triumphs that make for the lasting images, sometimes it is the disappointments.

I can still see it in slow motion in my head. Pop up from time to time, resulting in me collapsing into a foetal position. Why Mark, why?

Max's dad, Jos Verstappen, was an F1 driver as well of course. This was his most famous incident, during his debut season -
I think that's actually one of the pit-stop team; Verstappen was stuck in the car for all five seconds of the fire. He escaped unharmed, and two weeks later picked up his first ever podium finish.0 -

I remember that fire, I used to watch F1 back then, Verstappen got some burns around his face, you can see them at the end of this video.
This is Jos Verstappen in his first ever GP, his car is the one on top!

The aftermath\\\\;
PRESS RELEASE FROM THE FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE L'AUTOMOBILE (FIA)
Following a detailed investigation into the fire involving car No. 6 during a pit stop at the German Grand Prix, the refueling equipment manufacturer, Intertechnique, has reported to the FlA as follows:
1. The fuel spillage was caused by a valve failing to close properly,
2. The valve was slow to close due to the presence of a foreign body,
3. The foreign body is believed to have reached the valve because a filter designed to eliminate this risk had been deliberately removed.
-- Excerpt from FIA Technical regulations follows ---
ARTICLE 6: PIPING AND FUEL TANKS 5. Refuelling: 5.1. All refuelling during the race must be carried out using equipment supplied by the FIA. This equipment must not be modified in any way whatsoever.
--- End of excerpt from FIA Technical regulations ---
As thr rumours go, Fkavio Briatore thought time could be saved.
