Moments in pop culture that give you goosebumps

In a similar vein to the above, there is a video of Chris Cornells daughter Lily singing Black Gives Way to Blue by Alice in Chains. It absolutely destroyed me at the time. 

Going to go with the 1999 Champions League final for my number once choice. Sheringham. Solskjaer. Pure magic.

Sport doesn't get any better than that.

This would be my serious answer too, in that it still genuinely gives me goosebumps whenever I hear that Clive Tyldesley commentary for Solskjaer's winner.

I honestly watch the highlights when life is getting on top of me and I need a boost.

Every beat of it is perfect.

There have been times where my wife has texted me to check I am ok and I have just replied with a screenshot of Youtube showing the highlights.

A genuine shame it was Chibnall and shit, but the announcement of Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor was beautifully done.

Oooooh my teams been in a Champions League and won it oooooh look at me.

Grow up*

 

 

*yes it still hurts 

Edit: just to keep the theme going, I go uncontrollably anytime I see the Ajax away highlights. Even my 11yo will send me pictures of Moura celebrating and just say "You're gonna cry aren't you?"

Here's Dele Alli...

I am from Glasgow so my team is actually Celtic* (although we have also won the European cup - it doesn't matter that it was nearly 60 years ago!!!!)

Always had a soft spot for United though and always will. My earliest football memory is going to see Celtic v Man United in Paul McStays testimonial on a foggy night in December 1995. 

My uncle lived in Manchester for decades and had a season ticket from the 1990-91 season onwards. He went to loads of away games including the '99 final. He's getting on a bit now and gets very misty eyed about those days. I actually hate even saying "I had an Uncle in Manchester!!!!" as I am sure thousands of people claimed this to justify supporting United in the 90s.

*On the subject of Celtic, there is absolutely no way I can watch Henrik Larssons farewell at Celtic Park without bursting into horrible tears. The best to ever kick a ball up here.

@SuperBaconYou can also thank him for stopping Arsenal from winning the Champions League.

I know we don’t want to turn this into a footy thread, but I’ve never laughed as much at a celebration in my life.

Was thinking of posting this, but I wasn't sure about how popular it would be.

Taste and decency are not what we’re famous for here.

It's a wrestling forum. I don't think liking something about Star Trek is a crime.

In a similar vein, Beckham's free kick against Greece. Scenes, as the kids say.

Its one of those goals where I can remember exactly where I was - desperate for a piss at the Cricket Club and just wanting the ref to blow to put us out of our misery so I can get to the toilet.

My little sister drove us all fucking mental repeating that at every opportunity when it first happened.
