Watching it on an absolute unit of a TV with my dad and my little bro. Sounds a bit sad but probably one of the happiest times of my life, being in that room jumping up and down like maniacs together. My dad had grown increasingly irate throughout the game and all of a sudden he was exploding with joy. Still remember the buzz. Can only imagine what it would have been like to be at the game in person.

In a pub with other fans jumping around like a luny. My then friend, who hates United, sat there with the grumpiest looking face during the comeback which made it all the sweeter. He was the only one in the pub sat down

Hugged complete strangers during the carnage. One of my fondest ever memories that night. Was the happiest drunk.

Was also 16. Watched it in the living room with my old man.

We were both sat there post match in complete disbelief. I couldn’t get my head around what I’d just seen, I was absolutely dejected watching the last 20 and felt we just hadn’t got going at all that night. Like a massive anti climatic choke.

Pretty much the same

We’d just had a new puppy and he absolutely shit himself when we equalised and we all jumped up screaming. Everything else was a blur for a while after that

Watched it at home with a couple of mates. Didn't think we were gonna score so was so excited by the equaliser that I hadn't stopped celebrating before Ole's goal and couldn't get any more excited. Almost collapsed with it all

In the Original Oak in Headingley. Missed the second goal looking for my earring that had been ripped out celebrating the first.

Pretty mich this, but remember being incredibly calm, even as the 90 was up. We were all over them by that point and I knew we'd score, or at least I felt like I knew.

26th - Nou Camp. Got a ticket about five minutes before ko. Missed big Monty singing.
27th - ramblas until about 6am. Went back to sleep at mate’s house. Shit my pants the next morning. His bird thought it very amusing. Also said they could hear me laughing in my sleep. Great memories.

Ten years old watching it with my sister on the knackered old 'Sanyo' I had in my room.

Ran in to my mums room after the first to tell her what had happened, then heard my sister shouting that we had another corner. Rest is history.

My only regret in life is that I wasn't born 7 years and 1 month earlier so I could've watched it down the boozer with the old man.
