    I was playing football when I was about 13 and tripped over the ball (as usual). However, this time I tripped over it in such a manner that I flicked it up behind me, regained my balance and volleyed it into the back of the net. Granted, the goalkeeper was 6, but I still felt pretty awesome.
    Lol, that's pretty epic.

    Mine was an absolute joke lol. Similiar to welbeck's goal but with no skill. I received the cross, it went fumbling about in the box and I mis-kicked it and tripped. Looked up and I scored lool.

    We all took a 5 minute break to celebrate / laugh at the goal.

    This was all recent as well :cool:

    Once when a friend was round in Summer we were hanging out in my room when a bee flew and I flicked back out the inch wide gap with one finger first shot. Then 30 minutes later a wasp flew in and it happened again. I felt awesome!

    When I'm playing my guitar, and I think to myself mid-solo that I'm actually quite good; better than I give myself credit for.

    Then I listen to John Petrucci and once again feel depressed about how crap I am.

    Sitting in the school changing rooms with a basketball, shot for the toilet and it hit the back and landed in the toilet bowl. And then the lid shut down on top of it :cool:

    Shooting a hoop from the halfway line of the basketball court, and it swished :awesome:

    Was playing tennis and was lobbed, ran after the ball, jumped in the air and backhanded it behind me, and won the point

    I wish I could do that, a wasp flies into my room and suddenly it's a 20 minute struggle against all laws of probability :sadnod:

    I'm sat in the common room of a hostel in Australia, talking **** and laying cards face down on a table. I tell people I'm psychic. I tell them the next card is the Queen of Spades.

    I hit it.

    :awesome:

    I wear a wrist support and have done so for ages because the doctors can't work out what is wrong with my wrist. A few months ago the boys in one of my classes were going through a phase of making jokes about each others female relatives, and they spent one lesson alternating between making jokes about these relatives, and making jokes about my wrist support. Towards the end of the lesson one of them pointed out that I had a bandage on my wrist. I turned round, straight faced, and said: 'Oh, maybe [his sister] put it there'
    This boy had no comeback, and I was a legend for all of 30 seconds.

    Various but the one that comes to mind at the moment is when I was running full pelt on the boundary to catch a ball, thought it was going to be just out of reach, tripped, fell and managed to take the catch. Obviously it looked like an amazing diving catch to everyone else lol

    There is so much awesome to be had in football.

    Reminds me of when I scored in the last minute with a half volley from the edge of the area to win the game 5-4. I turned around so calmly with a Cantona type celebration. I felt like such a badass, my first goal as well. (I only ever scored 2 in my whole footballing career)

    Also, the first time you ever stand up on a surfboard without falling over. :cool:

    Re: Those moments when you realise you're awesome
    I was playing cards in the sixth form common room with some mates, which is not allowed. So when the teacher took them away i said 'i was showing some magic tricks'. She obviously didn't belive me, then took a card, put it behind her back and said 'If your a real magician what card did i take?'. I had no idea so said the first one that came to my head, '3 of Spades', and IT WAS RIGHT!!! I acted like it was supposed to happen, and it was during evryone's free so there was 300 sixth formers suddenly just going 'oooohhhh'. I felt amazing!!!

    I've mentioned this before on TSR, but after my year 4 teacher told me that she didn't believe that I felt ill, I 'accidentally' threw up a little too close to her laptop. I didn't get into trouble either, because I was genuinely ill :awesome:
