Had to upload the original on Vimeo due to Youtube Copyright restrictions. UEFA and FOM are zero tolerance on these kind of things: vimeo.com/168453626

I've already got a number one for 2011 locked up. What other moments come to mind for you guys?
Also I've put some thought into non-Leicester 2016 upsets: -Alex Rossi winning the Indy 500 -Danny Willett winning the masters -Nate Diaz beating Conor McGregor

I think it's fairly safe to add Bisping beating Rockhold to the 2016 list.

I'm getting close to finishing the 2011 upsets video. I need two more choices and I'm torn over which to choose {Spoiler} Paul Menard winning the Brickyard 400 Sam Stosur winning the US open Newcastle coming from 4 goals down to draw with Arsenal

Another entry into the sports upsets series, as we take a look at 2011. A year that was both a blessing and a curse for Newcastle United fans and gave the world of motor racing one of it's biggest fairytales. vimeo.com/170870092

I'd have put the Newcastle comeback a little higher, purely for Steve Harper's 'People's Elbow' during the celebrations!

Well, I guess we can add the Cavs coming back from a 3-1 Deficit on the 73-9 Warriors.

2016 Cavs definitely belong on there. First ever NBA team to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the Finals. And against the team with a historically good regular season.
Though if you want a weird stat: Each team that currently has the record for most amount of games won in each of the Major 4 American sports are 0-4 in winning their league's championship. In the Mariners' and Red Wings' case, they didn't even make it to the championship series, with the Warriors being a Kevin Durant choke job and Klay Thompson becoming an NBA Jam player away from joining them.

2010 could potentially be a tricky video. On paper there weren't that many upsets and those that did happen weren't what you would call elite. So far some of the suggestions are: {Spoiler} Leeds beat Manchester United in the FA cup Bankrupt Portsmouth reaching the FA Cup final Steve Davis beating John Higgins Pironkova beating Venus Williams Schiavone winning the French open {Spoiler}

England had Phil Taylor and James Wade, the number 1 & 2 ranked players in the world, basically it was like a darting dream team losing to a couple of pub players!

Well for 2016 you can easily put Iceland beating England 2-1 in the last 16 of the Euros in there now.

Continuing our sports upsets series by taking a look back at 2010, a year where football dominated the minds of many thanks to the World Cup whilst a sporting legend rolled back the years in the most unlikely of fashion.

I like how you "found" the first video on the web, yet it appears to be made by a person with the same name as you!

I don't wish to diminish Steve Davis' win (I love the guy), but I'm pretty if the match fixing story wasn't about to break, Higgins would have won that game easily. Higgins' mind was clearly elsewhere.
Still a great win at that stage of his career though.

Sadly for me, Lincoln Red Imps' 1-0 victory over Celtic earlier this week in the first leg of their Champions League second round qualifiers.
Increase this by tenfold if the Imps somehow manage to get past Celtic at Parkhead via aggregate.

We continue our quest through the upsets archives by taking a look at what happened in 2009. A year where Formula One got one of it's greatest ever fairy-tales and David beat Goliath... literally.

Continuing our countdown of the biggest sports upsets of each year by taking a look at 2008. A year to remember for fans of Barnsley Football Club and one to forget for Ana Ivanovic.
