Is that the one with Jesaulenko's Mark of the Century in it? Recently read an article on it.
Anyway, off the top of my head:
- Nick Faldo's turnaround of a six shot deficit to Greg Norman on the last round of the 1996 (IIRC) US Masters.
- Liverpool coming back from 3-0 down at half-time against AC Milan to win the 2005 Champions League final.
- The Botham/Willis test in the 1981 Ashes.
- France coming back from 24-10 down v The All Blacks in the 1999 World Cup Semi-Final to win 43-31
-Dennis Taylor coming back from 8-0 down to beat Steve Davis in the 1985 Snooker World Cahmpionship

Remember watching that when I was about 8 and almost crying. We had nothing in the 2nd half.

TBF Lamaison (sp?) was inspired in the second half. The game was worthy of the final (which was a bit of a damp squib, really). Might even go so far as to say the best game I've seen.

Liverpool scored 3 in 45 minutes (and then had to rely on the luck of penalties to actually win it).
United scored 2 in 3 minutes.
Then also you remember that we had to comeback against Juventus in Turin in the semi, after being 2-0 down after 11 minutes. No-one won in Turin back then. That in itself isn't > Liverpool's, but the final is.

It's only against the Blucerchiati and hardly on the same scale as Liverpool and Man U's efforts but I will always remember this comeback, truly unreal especially considering I went to the toilet at 0-2 and come back six minutes later and it was 3-2.

Also Inter's comeback in this season SuperCup was pretty good as well.

Port Vale vs QPR in 1997.
Port Vale were 4-0 up at half-time......then: -
Holwyn (og) (QPR) 66 mins
Impey (QPR) 85 mins
Murray (QPR) 88 mins
Spencer (QPR) 90 mins
----
QPR v Newcastle, 1984: Barcodes were 4-0 then 5-1 up before QPR fought back for a share of the points
----
Barnsley v Exeter, 1977: Barnsley 3-0 up at half time... City win 4-3
----
2004 FA Cup: Spurs v Man City. Tottenham 3-0 up at half time and as the players make their way to the tunnel, Joey Barton is sent off for being an idiot (plus ca change).
48": Distin - 3-1
61": Bosvelt - 3-2
80": Wright-Phillips - 3-3
92": Macken - 3-4
All made more hilarious by Man City having an 18-year-old Icelandic kid in goal, pulling off save after incredible reaction save, and my housemate being a Spurs fan.

Man U vs. Bayern sounds the best from what I've read and the footage I've seen, but I didn't watch it live. But with stoppage time going, to avoid defeat would have been something let alone win the game.
Liverpool's is obviously awesome as well.
That Carlton grand final Pasag mentioned was massive as well.

Didn't Liverpool score like 3 in 8 minutes though?
Shame on the lot of you tbh, but especially Neil, who has focused on a lot of 3-0...4-3s and missed out the best one. Widely regarded as the greatest FA Cup comeback of all-time (in my house, anyway) Premiership Southampton led Tranmere, bottom of the First Division, three-nil at half-time. And they had completely bossed the first half as well. But one such optimist, who is believed to be a fan of Geraint Vincent the newsreader, is believed to have said, "don't worry, we'll win this four-three" in the concourse at half-time. True to form, Paul "useless blue" Rideout scored a hat-trick, Stuart "barndoor" barlow scored a fourth, and Tranmere marched on to the Quarter-finals, for the second year in a row. True story.
Love watching the game. Andy Gray's commentary is marvellous, reading us the last rites at 3-0, then at 3-2, "who said this cup-tie was over? Not me!" with more than a hint of irony.
Seriously, greatest comeback ever, and I'm disgusted that it had to be me who mentioned it.
