Mansell made up 29 seconds in 28 laps to catch and overtake Piquet with one of the best overtakes seen in F1 (a dummy to go outside at the end of Hangar and diving down the inside)
Hillsborough '89
England v Aussies in '82 at Twickenham, otherwise known as the Erica Roe game.

Having to go into work, negotiate time off and travelling over to the coast on the same day made it all the more worthwhile. If it was easier and 'up the road' at Hedders it would have taken something off it. (That was my second fave tho, similar circumstances for the 2001 test at Hedders, into work first thing arranging time off and up to the ground to see butcher beat the aussies.)
I love Scarborough for cricket.
As an aside anyone else love the Scarborough ground?
I prefer it to hedders, lovely roast of beef overlooking the square (for members) . A few beers in the 'proper' pavilion, players more 'there' than hedders to talk to. Couple of pints over the road and then supper in the Golden Grill then home. A great day out.
the cricketers pub across the road despite looking like an estate pub did a decent pint of ale and was friendly though i understand it is closed now and may be demolished

Droylsden vs York City
The Sky Sport pundits have never stopped speaking about it since the event
<snip>
NEVER FORGET.
Yeah, but.... Droylsden.... That fat feck Jody Banim was playing for 'em. Just a symbol of how far we've fallen is that. Beating Manchester United at old Trafford 3-0 - now that was good. And it preserved our record of being unbeaten at said ground since 1975. Keith Houchen's penalty against the Arsenal in 1985 as well. Never known an atmosphere like it. The roar when the penalty was awarded to the silence when Keith was stepping up, then another, bigger, roar when it hit the back of the net.
Ah, them were't days.
