Laurie Whitwell - Manchester United 2-1 Bayern Munich - 26 May 1999

I’m sorry but it has to be 1999. The quality in the actual game may have been pretty underwhelming but the drama was immense. It was a slow burner, where the potential glory awaiting Manchester United hung over the action to ratchet up the tension, which was realised in the most incredible way after 90 minutes.

Mike Keegan - AC Milan 3-3 Liverpool - 25 May 2005

Last night cannot be far off the top of the list. It had it all – apart from decent defending. Manchester United fans would have a valid claim for the 1999 Final, given what it meant and given how it came about. However, it is hard to look beyond Liverpool’s comeback against AC Milan in 2005. Yes, they have won on penalties but their story is as close to fiction as you can get. Having narrowly come through a play-off against Austrian minnows Grazer AK, they qualified from their group on goal difference. Coming from three goals down was incredible and even more so when you look at Milan’s back four. Cafu, Jaap Stam, Alessandro Nesta and Paolo Maldini. Ridiculous.

Paul Newman - Manchester United 2-1 Bayern Munich - 26 May 1999

As a Spurs fan I really should say this latest monumental game against Manchester City or the 'taxi for Maicon' match in 2010 against Inter Milan when Gareth Bale announced himself as a world-class talent but I have to go for the 1999 Champions League final. For some reason I was in Barcelona to see Manchester United defeat Bayern Munich in such dramatic circumstances and saw my old school-mate Teddy Sheringham play such a big part in the triumph. Unforgettable.

Craig Hope - Feyenoord 2 Newcastle 3 – 13 Nov 2002

This is the first game that springs to mind so I'll stick with it, an occasion that is still talked about to this day on Tyneside. Newcastle needed to win and hope that Juventus won away to Dinamo Kiev as they attempted to become the first team to emerge from the group stage after losing their first three games. They were cruising after goals from Craig Bellamy and Hugo Viana but entering injury-time they had been pegged back to 2-2. And when Kieron Dyer went through on goal and missed they thought their chance had gone, only for Bellamy to pounce on the rebound and score from an impossible angle. To this day I have never seen a Newcastle goal celebrated quite like that one.
