1 Swindon V Leicester play off final
2 Swindon V Sunderland play off final
3 Bristol City 0 v 4 Swindon in the 90/91 season
4 Birmingham 4 v 6 Swindon
5 Wimbledon v Liverpool FA Cup Final

I've never attended a sporting event that isn't football I don't think, except horse racing, but that's just an excuse to get pissed and waste all your money.

3. Oakland Raiders v Seattle Seahawks (close game, Raiders won by 1 or 2)

Juan Pablo Montoya winning the grand prix of Monaco 2 years ago -my first ever win (my job is part of the racing team.)

Beating the ox at the manor ground in the last ever derby there.

The Posh game when Invincible scored 'that' volley to keep us up.

Any game we have beaten the shitty.

Another one from work- winning the second of two 1-2 finishes with both our cars the season before last with Montoya and Ralph Schumacher.

All Swindon for me

1) Play off final 1990 v Sunderland
2) Play off final 1993 v Leicester
3) April 86 v Chester when we won promotion from the old 4th Div
4) Beating Leeds 3-2 in Feb 90, met some Leeds fans at a service station on the way home who took the piss out of me for supporting Swindon, yeah ok then lads, who just won the game!
5) Swindon v Blackburn play off semi 1990 when we'd just got our 2nd to go 4-1 up on aggregate, and knowing that I'd be seeing Swindon at Wembley for the 1st time, which I'd never dreamt would happen a few years before that.

Dunnno if anyones mentioned it but charlton away (99/00 I think.. season when we got relegated from div1) Steve cowe plays it into box with noone there, goes in. 1-0 4th min, From what I remember Talia's performce in goal that day would have got him in any international squad in the world. Don't think we had a chance on goal after that.

I'm drunk and it was a long time ago, but I do remember we'd beaten Huddesfield midweek just before to end a ridiculous run without a win and charlton were on a proper undefeated streak
