Ricky Villa scoring that goal against City in 1981 to win the FA cup.

Cantona scoring 2 pens in the F.A cup final vs Chelsea in 94.
Also vaguely remember Gazza 1990
This. Honestly.

First memory is Cameron shocking Argentina in the 1990 world cup.

Rooney getting the red card against Portugal in WC 2006. Didn't even know who he was or what team he played for.
2002 World Cup final. I was 6 and I remember Kahn's mistake very clearly.
One of the best games of all time that.
Probably World Cup 90, probably group stage, a Brazil match. Don't remember much more than seeing the players on the pitch.
It's from the 85/86 season. A 3-2 win for Liverpool away to Watford. I'm guessing it must've been a live game for me to remember it.
Particularly remember the flowing locks of Paul Walsh as he celebrated after he nutmegged the keeper on 1 of his goals.

Seeing Gordan Strachan playing and laughing at how weird he looked
Milan's evisceration of Barcelona, followed by USA 94 
(in which i was actually rooting for Brazil until after they beat us, then i cried for a week)

First club memory is Desailly at Chelsea clapping vigorously as a Monaco player got sent off, in their 2003 CL semifinal tie.

World Cup 2002 was the first time i watch football and love it.
my best memory in WC 2002 was Miroslav Klose scored five times and all of them by heading, the sensational Olie Kahn and Rustu Recber, and worst match i've ever seen, Korea vs Italy.

Milk Cup 4th round in 1983 - United vs Oxford. Ended in a 1-1 draw.
Norman Whiteside is my main memory from the game and remains one of my favourite United players.

Liverpool winning the UEFA 1976 or the big one in Rome in 77. I can never remember which one. Winning the big one again in 78 is very clear to me.
That was a Sunday game . We wore all white. I think it was 3 - 1 though.It's from the 85/86 season. A 3-2 win for Liverpool away to Watford. I'm guessing it must've been a live game for me to remember it.

I only know it was 3-2 cos I Googled it. For some reason in my head i thought it was a 5-0!!!
WTF?
Did you see that at 4:15?
The Danish keeper handles the ball outside the box, prevents a certain goal with a definite sending off (these days anyway) and everyone just gets up and plays on. . . Ball goes down the pitch for them to score.
Could get away with anything in the 80s.
Earliest memory is England 1998. I remember it coming up to half time and thinking I will ride my bike round to my friends house now so I can sit down and watch second half with him. Only for Argentina to score in first half stoppage time and me getting to his house all disappointed
Everything from then on is a complete blank up until when Lukaku scores against Newcastle an hour ago
Thinking of it, I was only 7 years old, what was my mum thinking of letting me ride half way across town on my bike at that age

I can just about remember a Man United v Notts County game at Old, that is probably my earliest footballing memory.
The thing that got me was the tackle before that, would have most likely ended in a red card... Hiw the game has changed.
94 FA Cup final - Giggs slipping it through and Irwin being upended for the penalty that opened the scoring. I was 8 and I can remember it vividly as if it were yesterday!
I have vague recollections of watching football before that but nothing specific. The rest of that summer though is full of them - Ray Houghton against Italy, Baggio against everyone, that penalty in the final. A seminal summer of football for me!

Possibly 81 Cup final, definitely 82 world cup
The clearer memory has to be France-Spain in 1998 but I also have a vague memory of Dortmund-Juventus, I used to love Dortmund but they weren't playing in red and it was my favorite color.
I think I got a sticker book at about 5 yrs old with all the old division 1 players. Skimpy shiny shorts 80s style. 84 or 85.
I remember John Wark sticker playing for Ipswich.
Just better times.

98 final I was somewhere in cape cod with my cousin and I remember watching the final in some basement before running down the bluffs and getting yelled at by some coast guard officer because they were protected territory haha
Hour and a half ago. United beat Newcastle 4-1
3 - 2 .
feck me. My memory aint what it use to be. I remember the FA Cup QF's against Watford that season. I was there. 1 - 0 down we get a pen towards the end at Molby scores it. Rush got the winner in extra time . We took over Watford that night . What glorious days they were.
First game i saw was Brazil x Italy WC 1982.
1983 FA cup final. My mate was trying to get me into football and he was a Liverpool fan. My Mum was horrified, told me about my Great Uncle playing for United and made me watch. The rest as they say is history!
Di matteo scoring againt boro in the fa cup final
Ghana playing lovely stuff vs Czech Republic in the '06 World Cup.
1985 fa cup final vs Everton. 1-0 whiteside thats when i became a utd fan.
Cantona kicking the Palace fan. I remember it being on the news.
I probably remember earlier things like the World Cup in 1994 and bits of our season in 1993/94 and 1994/95 but I can't tell if I remember them because I've watched so much and read so much as I've gotten older or whether it's an actual memory. Cantona on the news is vivid.

I dunno, maybe it was highlights. I was 5!
Some time in the early 85/86 season. Watched the daily sports coverage on Swedish TV with my dad... They mentioned the results from the English league and the top teams place in the table. I thought Manchester was a funny name cause there's pants called just that. That day I decided to cheer for that team...
Luckily it was United
