    I'll try and run this off fairly quickly, entries are open for a week, you can nominate your top five sporting moments of all time (EDIT: By PM) and I'll run them off over the following week in a randomly randed fashion

    Will it be one of these















    Anyway get your PMs in, voting will be a day time event

    Not at all, I’d imagine it will be Irish dominated

    Ray Houghton in 88
    Ray Houghton in 94
    Packie's save and O'Leary peno
    Maradona's Goal of the Century
    Any AI won by Cork
    Usain Bolt
    Ireland v Wales 2009 to win GS
    Stephen Roche in 1987 winning basically everything

    Jimmy Magees commentary of John Treacy winning silver in 84 is the finest piece of sports broadcasting ever, if you haven't heard it you are missing out

    Has to be Alan Mcloughlin's goal in 1993 against the North. A partisan crowd singing for fenians to drown in their own blood hushed with a sheer goal of beauty.

    I think you need to be in the moment for most event, you're not going to get the same buzz watching them now.

    An exception Istanbul.

    Entered.
    I tried to give some slightly less obvious (though still fairly obvious) suggestions. I'll be gutted if some of my omissions aren't included by other people!
