I seem to recall an Italian punter whacking a huge sum on Milan at half time at 1/100
2005 CL Final. 3-0 down to a team containing
Nesta
Maldini
Cafu
Stam
Gattuso
Pirlo
Seedorf
Shevchenko
Crespo
Kaka
Yet Liverpool were crowned European club champions.
Context, the opponents, the occasion, underdogs before a ball was kicked - no comeback matches this.

Not quite. We were 1-0 at half time. Wardy missed a penalty! But went on to equalise in the 54th minute. Albion were awarded another penalty which Nobby Horton converted. Steve Piper got the third towards the end of the game, while Wednesday got their second just before the final whistle. Promotion secured!

The Leicester 3-2 win, as immortalised in NSC Gold, was a bit special and a huge comeback in football ability. We were bloody awful in the first half, it was no wonder people left at HT. I remember being at the burger van behind the Family Stand at HT and questioning if it was worth the hassle. Robbie Savage was copping most of my ire, he was bloody useless. Worse than useless.
Fortunately he was subbed at HT, never to play for us again. That second half was just magical, just a shame that it was an evening game and Hove Seagull, Hans Kraay Fan Club and I didn't have our children at the match.

If we are allowed to go outside of football, then Ben Ainslie leading the USA yacht team to win the last 8 races in the 2013 Americas Cup to win it 9-8 has to be right up there.

I was at White Hart Lane when Spurs had Man City in the cup (had tickets to see Zamora but he was sold the week before the match!!). Spurs leading 3-0 at half time and as they trapsed off, Joey Barton was shown the red card for discussing things inappropriately with the Ref. Down to 10, they came back to win 4-3.

Barcelona 6 PSG 5 on aggregate, last season's Champions league. Barca needed 3 goals in the 88th minute, and with the help of a shady decision or two, got them.

Not spectacular but very memorable

Cobblers. They only came back to draw the game.
If we're talking underdog comebacks, hows this from the FA Cup 2015.
Chelsea 2
(Cahill 21, Ramires 38)
Bradford 4
(Stead 41, Morais 75, Halliday 82, Yeates 90+4).
Chelsea were reigning Champions and top of the Premier League again at the time. Bradford were in League One. That was probably the most incredible FA Cup result in recent history.
This was incredible. Shame Champions league is hidden away on BT Sport.
Relax, it's only a debate. We respect all opinions.

Two very very late Steve Sidwell goals in the 90th minute. That was the same night Brighton Bears scored with a last second buzzer wining shot vs Chester Jets at the Brighton Centre - good times.
Also
Clearly the Swindon game should be in the mix

I was lucky enough to watch it in a dingy taberna in Santiago de Compostela, everyone went batshit at the end!
