Ryan Giggs' 1999 FA Cup stunner crowned football's greatest moment
A poll of 2,000 football fans has crowned Ryan Giggs' 1999 solo goal against Arsenal as the greatest FA Cup moment. The research, commissioned by betting community OLBG, also highlighted other unforgettable matches and strikes from the tournament's history.
OLBG has now launched an FA Cup quiz to test supporters' knowledge of these iconic moments.
Giggs' famous run and finish in the 1999 semi-final replay secured the top spot. His goal, which knocked Arsenal out on their way to Manchester United's treble, received the highest number of votes.
Other legendary moments made the top 20 list. Wimbledon's shock 1988 final victory over Liverpool and Leicester City's 2021 triumph were both recognised. Memorable goals, such as Michael Owen's double in 2001 and Steven Gerrard's dramatic 2006 equaliser, also featured prominently.
Recent winners include Crystal Palace, who claimed their first major trophy last season with a 1-0 win over Manchester City. The previous year, Manchester City had lifted the cup after beating Manchester United 2-1 in the 2023 final.
The poll results reflect the FA Cup's enduring appeal, with moments spanning decades still fresh in fans' minds. OLBG's quiz now offers supporters a chance to test their recall of these historic events. The tournament's rich history continues to produce drama, from underdog victories to last-gasp heroics.
