When Yasuaki Kagami bought his controlling shares in 2008 and went after getting us on the stadium list for England’s doomed 2018 World Cup list.

The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin back in '95 takes some beating, considering what it ushered in - death of the Oslo Accord, 25 years of right-wing politics, second intifada etc. Remember watching it on TV (other than 9/11, the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen live on TV) and even at such a young age I was aware of an ominous foreboding descending.

When did the first tory slither out of the beast before eating his (it was definitely a he) umbilical and looking for poor people to oppress?

On a personal note probably that Dutch goal against England at euro 96.
