I'll have to go for Liverpool winning the European Cup in 2005, no doubt about it. I watched it at a friends house, with about 20 other lads and only 3 of us were Liverpool supporters. Most of the rest where Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal fan boys and all of them were dying for Liverpool to lose.
As you can imagine, the banter was aplenty. One of my mates stood in front of the telly just before kick off and said to us Liverpool fans, "you don't mind if we celebrate AC Milan's goals, do you lads?" Which was followed by some cheering and clapping. They were doing all they could to wind us up.
1-0
2-0
3-0
Half-Time.
It was a Liverpool fan's worst nightmare. Us three Reds were sat in our seats just feeling completely deflated. The rest of the lads were jumping up and about, cracking jokes at every possible opportunity. Re-enacting Crespo's chipped goal with a cushion and basically rubbing it in.
Then, I think it was Steve Mcmanaman who at half time said something along the lines of "If AC can score 3 in one half, then why can't Liverpool in the second half?"
This was followed by jeering and laughter. But for me, it instilled hope.
The crowd singing You'll Never Walk Alone was amazing, the whole room went silent. Kick Off.
By the time it was 3-2, suddenly everyone in the room was a Liverpool fan. Instead of winding up us and jeering, everyone was celebrating our goals and getting really excited.
3-3 We tore the roof down.
Dudek's double save, I nearly fainted.
I'll never be able to describe how I felt as the last Penalty was saved and Liverpool had won.
Greatest Liverpool related night of my entire life.
I rambled on a bit there, just wondering what other people's best memories in football were?

We didn't win 3-0 at OT. We scored 3, we lost 4-3 but we was the first team to score 3 there since Real Madrid a few years before that, we lost but it felt pretty decent still.
