Ronaldo, Luis Figo and James McFadden are standing before God at the throne of Heaven.
God looks at them and says; "before granting you a place at my side, I must first ask you what you believe in."
Addressing Ronaldo first he asks, "what do you believe?"
Ronaldo looks God in the eye and states passionately, "I believe Football to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy to so many people from the slums of Rio to the bright lights of Madrid. I have devoted my life to bring such joy to people who stood on the terraces supporting their club."
God looks up and offers Ronaldo the seat to his left.
He then turns to Luis Figo, "and you, Luis, what do you believe?"
Figo stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour and passion are the fundamentals to life and I've spent my whole playing career providing a living embodiment of these traits."
God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Figo the seat to his right.
Finally, he turns to Faddy "and you, James, what do you believe?"
"I believe" says Faddy "you're sitting in my seat!"

It's even better with the French Commentary:

"Ooh Laa Laa!", "Sacrebleu!" - I'm not kidding, listen to it!

Not that I'm savouring this, but this one includes the goal, as well as the final whistle and the aftermath:

Still can't quite believe it!

I didn't have the benefit of seeing it live on the TV, but I was listening to it on the radio. David Begg was the commentator with Willie Miller and Billy Dodds as summarisers. Either Miller or Dodds had just finished saying something when Begg started saying, "McFadden for Scotland....." or something like that.
Then his voice was drowned out as everyone started cheering. It took me a couple of seconds to figure out if we had actually scored or not. Then I was jumping about the room trying to keep quiet so as not to wake up the kid
Absoulte quality. Yes, I am still on cloud nine
