Apparently it is 25 years ago today that Barry Davies exclaimed when GB's hockey team scored against the Germans "Where were the Germans but frankly who cares!" , of course there is the iconic "They think its all over ... it is now!"

My favourite is when Germany equalised in Euro 96 semis and Barry Davies (I think) just screamed "Kuntz!" ... not sure he meant the players name!!!

    "You Kuntz"

    Not that I read the Daily Sport when it was in circulation though........

    Or it may seem a random one, but for a Boston Red Sox fan like me, this is huge (and probably the biggest story ever in US sports....

    "Back to Foulke.....Red Sox fans have longed to hear it.......The Boston Red Sox are World Series champions. It has been 87 years. Generations across New England have come and gone. Put that curse to bed!"

    Remember watching that hockey match (think it was also the one where the miniature of sport ran on the pitch) then setting off to Norwich (we won 3-1).

    A female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked, "So Bob, where's that eight inches you promised me last night?" Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard!

    It's a apocryphal story. The first time I saw it was in Covey's 13 Habits book. He cites a US Navy man called Frank Koch, but elsewhere in webland says Horatio Hornblower. Agree with SE9, made up.
