Beating Charlton 1-0 away that season we got relegated from div1/championship/div2 (whatever you want to call it). Bit special that.
Jimmy Davis' Mum's speech at the Notts County game we won 4-1(?) was a bit hairs on neck in a random sort of way. Guess it took a lot of courage to speak in front of a stadium full of people. Didn't Igoe get sent off right at the end?
I'd say Invincibile's goal against Peterborough, and yeah I went pretty mental, but we weren't actually safe yet so it wasn't as special as people sometimes make out.
There are songs which have had that effect on me when I first hear them, but I'm the sort of idiot who listens to songs over and over again to the point where the effect is lost unless you're a bit pissed. Off the top of my head there's something about the Polyphonic Spree's Choral Happy Pop which has done that, Hold Me Now springs to mind.

The tree song is ace. I can sort of imagine singing it at Primary School assemblies and there being proper hand actions to trees growing.

First ever hole in one at Bowood.
First belt down the motorway after passing my DT.
First blowie (not giving one before some cunt pipes up).
Darren Clarke at K-Club.
Invincibile vs Peterborough.
Watching one of your mates coffin slide off into the flames. That sounds really really terrible but it was as surreal and engrossing as it was devastating.

Goran Ivanišević's 2001 Wimbledon win. Anybody who was against him just because he knocked out Henman is a knob. It's possibly the most recent example of someone achieving at the highest level of sport through pure passion and determination.
Wimbledon has seemed a bit shit since.

That pride of britain thing was crap. How can that mum get an award because her sons nearly beat someone to death??! Yes it was a hard decision to call the police on them, but she brought them up. She taught them right from wrong. Am I being too harsh?

Holding my son for the first time.
Watching the Airbus A380 fly over my house at 2,000 feet during this year's Farnborough Airshow.
Waiting for Paul Bodin to step up and take his penalty at Wembley 15 years ago.
Standing in a crowd of 4,000 Town fans all giving Calderwood at ovation as he jogged down to our end at the start of the game at White Hart Lane the following season.

Having to tell my sister her best mate was killed in a car crash.
Play off final.
Cutting someone who we knew out of a car who had been serving us dinner in the pub an hour before. She was lucky to live after hitting a tree at 75mph but is now severely disabled and lives in a care home.
Invincibile vs Peterborugh as DMR said
Rolling my car 3 times down the road was quite nerve wracking too!

Seeing both my son and daughter being born, cutting the cords and holding them for the first time...
Walking up the aisle to get married....
Watching my son get up and walk for the first time...
Both Wembley Playoff finals...
Mansfield away with 4000 other Town fans (in an end that should have held around half that!!) to see us win the Div 4 title...

Sporting wise
Tranmere PO Semi away in 93 (just as the Trannie fans were charging over to us, stopped and starting singing "Swindon")
A packed out Murrayfield/Hampden singing FOS,
McFadden's goal v French and Don's against England in 99.
The sound of Maskell's goal at wembley and the commentary "and that surely means the premier league for Swindon town now" (think that was Taylor's goal tho).
