Forgot one, went to see the WWE thing at the NEC because a friend won some tickets, would've been about 97 or 98 I think, I was never a fan and it was the biggest pile of bollocks I've ever seen live.

It was announced on the radio that something special was happening, so loads of people went down to see him twatting the Durham bowling to all corners.

It was announced on the radio that something special was happening, so loads of people went down to see him twatting the Durham bowling to all corners.I saw the start of that innings, straight from school to get there just in time for the evening session, think he got his century just before the close. I should've been there for the entire 3rd day but the weather reports were terrible so we never bothered, I think it was a complete wash out.The other time I saw him that sticks out was a sunday league game later that summer, can't remember who against but he hit 60 or 70 odd in decent win towards the end of the season when it was pretty clear to everyone that the Bears were about to win a whole bunch of trophies.
Cycling tours from the roadside, Volleyball Olympic Final, Olympic White water canoeing, Cricket at Edgbaston, one dayers and tests, Old trafford for a few T20s, numerous athletics meets at Alexander stadium, Rugby at Twickers a few times back in the 90s and didn't miss attending the Open Golf for about 10 years in the 80's/90s watching Faldo in his pomp and 3 Ryder Cups. I vaguely recall going banger racing once but for the life of me cant remember where. Been racing a few times as well Cheltenham, Chester, Haydock and Cartmel.For atmos I'd say the Ryder Cups were the best and the Open Golf can get quite tense if its close or goes to a play off but nothing comes close to the Football for me.
Events I would love to attend World Cup Final, Champions League Final,
