And 21 per cent voted for England‘s 1966 World Cup final victory over West Germany.
Most dream of being there to see Bobby Moore lift the Jules Rimet trophy after goals from Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters at Wembley.
Coming in second place is Andy Murray when he clinched his Wimbledon title in 2013.
He beat Novak Djokovic on Centre Court to become the first British man to win the Grand Slam since Fred Perry in 1936.
Third place went to Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean winning gold at the Winter Olympics in 1984.
The duo were given a dozen perfect 6.0s and six 5.9s with their Bolero performance to become the highest-scoring figure skaters of all-time.
Completing the top five is two iconic moments from the London 2012 Olympics.
Usain Bolt winning gold in the 100m narrowly beats “Super Saturday” when Greg Rutherford, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Mo Farah all came first to complete the greatest night in British athletics history.
England winning the 2003 Rugby World Cup, Liverpool’s incredible comeback from 3-0 down against AC Milan in the Champions League two years later both make the top ten.
As Muhammed Ali’s “Rumble in the Jungle” win over George Foreman also makes the cut.
Other iconic moments featuring the Lionesses, Lewis Hamilton, Lionel Messi, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Dame Kelly Holmes make the top 50.
Arguably some of the Premier League’s greatest days when Leicester won the title and Sergio Aguero scored his winner for Manchester City come in at 29th and 34th respectively.
