Greatest team sporting achievement ever?

[nedley]

With Leicester close to winning the PL title, has there been a greater team achievement in team sport.

Some may say Forest
Some have said the Mighty Ducks

But has there really been a greater team sporting achievement all considered?

Not if Newcastle avoid relegation.

Celtic winning the European Cup with a team of players all from Glasgow is the greatest ever achievement imo

Spurs winning the fa cup in 1901.

You also had that coal miners side that won the first ever "world cup".

Sports in general? Or just football? Big difference.

How about that Jamaican bobsleigh team? Or that football team with Rocky in goal that beat the Nazis?

Jamaican Bobsled team...

West Auckland FC. "A Captains Tale" with Dennis Waterman tells the story of how they won the Lipton Trophy in 1909 (again in 1911)

West Ham winning the world cup in 1966 is up there...

Jamaica bobsled, Miracle on Ice, Sunderland's escape a few years back was incredible

Just recently: Stephen Curry's 400 3 pointers in an 82 game season when no one else has ever gotten 300 3's in a season(next highest? Achieved by Curry just last year with 286), the Warriors 73 wins in an 82 game season

What about Average Joe's, they won the Dodgeball World Championship, that was a true underdog story

Shaktar could be included in this conversation if they win the Europa League this year.

Great Britain Davis Cup team. (Tennis)
Screw Leicester (mumble mumble mumble...)

 

[Ribble]

Would surely have to be the Miracle on Ice. It's pretty much the closest you'll get to an underdog sports movie happening in real life. Leicester may have been a relegation touted team but they're still full-time professional players, not a bunch of amateurs and college kids.

Liverpool's home draw against West Brom. Unforgettable!

 

[CornerPinDreamer]

i thought Japan beating SOuth Africa at the Rugby world cup last year was pretty awesome
