Title: Biggest upsets in sport. Post by: stfc1975 on Sunday, September 20, 2015, 01:21:49 Following Japans victory over South Africa in the rugger (100/1 in some bookies) , what would you choose as the biggest upsets . My personal opinion is James 'Buster' Douglas v Mike Tyson. Although IIRC was only 66/1.

Post by: JanTheMan on Sunday, September 20, 2015, 18:03:07 I suppose Sutton beating Cov is still up there and hasn't been done since
Always remember the Faroe Islands beating Austria in the early 90's, although that wouldn't be such a shock nowadays. Title: Re: Biggest upsets in sport.

I still remember scoring the winning goal to put us in the final.

Title: Re: Biggest upsets in sport. Post by: Costanza on Sunday, September 20, 2015, 19:07:22 Bristol City winning at Anfield. Wrexham (4th division) beating reigning First Division champions Arsenal is probably more impressive a victory within the 1990's. Title: Re: Biggest upsets in sport.

Title: Re: Biggest upsets in sport. Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, September 22, 2015, 11:39:33 They mentioned this on the news last night.
Goran Ivanisovic winning wimbledon, Ben Crenshaw (I think) winning the open and Cameroon beating Argentina in the WC in 1990 were mentioned. Title: Re: Biggest upsets in sport. Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, September 22, 2015, 14:12:49 They mentioned this on the news last night. Goran Ivanisovic winning wimbledon, Ben Crenshaw (I think) winning the open and Cameroon beating Argentina in the WC in 1990 were mentioned. Just goes to show not to take much notice of what is braodcast as "news" Ivanisovic beat Henman in the semi....that was a fucking surprise. I'm sure you mean Ben Curtis....plenty of US journeymen have carried off the claret jug African football had been improving for some years....think it was Ruud Gullit who incorrectly predicted an African side would win the WC. Now North Korea beating Italy in 66, would be worthy of mention. Keith Deller's 83 world darts win, is another worthy of consideration, along with Joe Johnson's 86 Crucible snooker world title. Oh and Ireland rolling over the Windies for 25 in 69, was a bit special http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKN4vVm7Ffs Title: Re: Biggest upsets in sport.
