Gatting's face is a picture
It's a shame the cricket commentators are so monotone about it. That bowl is the cricketing equivalent of a 40 bicycle kick pinged into the top corner in football

Zidane walking past the World Cup towards the tunnel after being sent off for that headbutt in the 2006 final.
Ali standing over Liston screaming at him to get up.
The black power salute by those American sprinters on the podium @ the 68 Olympics.
Tuesday club, now those are proper iconic moments. You can include the 2012 Olympics on THAT Saturday night. And of course the 66 world Cup.
Proper moments, not Facking Connor mcgregor fighting some bum in a sport nobody cares about
Sticking with cricket, the entirety of the 2005 Ashes series. One of the rare instances where fans/pundits/commentators hype something up as the greatest ever and they're spot on. Tests 2, 3 & 4 were outstanding.
If I had to pick out one solitary individual moment it would be Harmison's slower delivery to Clarke on the last ball of Day 4/Test 2. You look back at that in hindsight and it's even more impressive, the cheek of it in the circumstances knowing if Clarke survives the night we're probably going 2-0 down in the series. Not a stretch to say that ball won the Ashes, not at all.

The two last minute goals to win the leagues are pretty iconic as much for the commentary - it’s up for grabs now and Aguerooooooo.
In terms of British sport then Jonny Wilkinson’s drop goal to beat the Aussies and win the WC must be up there. Not sure it counts as an iconic moment because there isn’t necessary one single moment but Murray winning Wimbledon possibly.
Boxing day test 2010 when we blitzed em for 98 on the first day.
The atmosphere was unbelievable in the best stadium i've ever been to!

Jesse Owens winning 2 gold medals in the 1936 Berlin Olympics has to be up there.
More recently,it was before the game, but when France squared up to the haka in the 07 rugby World Cup and then no one moved for a couple minutes
Johnny Wilkinsons drop goal in 2003.
Drogbas penalty in Munich 2012.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II5Zx0nqDEs
Tempted to put few clips from 1992 and 1994 world snooker championships but didn't want to upset any Jimmy White fans
For me, from a neutral point of view, it Kenneth Wolstenhome's "They think it's all over - it is now", commentary in 66.

This one of those moments where the whole nation gets involved.
In my living memory this.....
The man broke American dominance in this event and I was SO pleased to see him do it.
https://youtu.be/2EHuyJvy3XI
And before my life time? Jesse Owens' 4 golds would be even more special but more so that he didn't ultimately have to bathe himself in bleach to get get that evil so n so's stench from him.
A lot was made of the 'snub' I say Jesse got lucky to not shake hands with him.
Oh and Lewis becoming undisputed Champion was an amazing night for me. After I sat and watched that embarrassing decision from the judges from the first fight I was delighted to see justice done.
