I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.
I've also seen Devon Malcolm bugger the Saffers at the Oval
Graham Goochs 333, both days of it.
I've also seen Rodney Towse play county cricket. Scoring at less than one an over, he managed to take 16 days to score a double hundred at Edgbaston, during which I managed to consume more beers than he scored runs.

RAC Rally 1985. Debut of 6r4 & Delta S4, with 205 T16s & quattro Sport e2s, Celica TCTs & Manta 400s 
I remember freezing my nuts off in the Welsh forests watching those. Fun times for rally fans, never to be repeated.This footie match;
Without doubt the most memorable U-21 match at Pittodrie was without doubt the young Scots finest hour in 1992 when Scotland defeated Germany in an incredible match. After a 1-1 draw in Bochum, hopes were high but manager Craig Brown guarded against the Germans ability to score at Pittodrie. Those fears were realised as the Germans went into a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes. With the Scots looking down and out, they clawed their way back into the tie when Duncan Ferguson set up Ray McKinnon to score just before half time.
Despite being backed by the passionate home support Germany scored a third on the hour mark to put themselves seemingly out of reach. However in one of the most stunning comebacks seen at the old stadium, Gerry Creaney headed past Stefan Klos in 68 minutes before Paul Lambert levelled the tie in 78 minutes after a McKinnon shot had struck the post. Bedlam ensued as the crowd urged on the Scots in a frantic finale.
Two minutes from time Alex Rae scored a sensational goal to put the Scots through to the semi finals of the European Championships. No less than four Aberdeen players were in the Scots starting line up on that historic occasion; Michael Watt, Stephen Wright, Gary Smith and Eoin Jess.

Brian Lara scoring 400 not out against England in Antigua 2004.
Well I saw 0-80 odd on the first day, spent the second day on the beach and then returned for the third day to watch him break the world record when he progressed from 300 odd to 400.
The atmosphere was electric as he approached the milestone with the entire crowd willing him on (Barmy Army included). In hindsight on that 3rd day it was never in doubt that he'd make it, and at the same time quite a remarkable achievment.
