Playing street ball with Al Harrington last year over the summer. I was over my friends place in Jersey, and he is from the same area as Al Harrington. Al Harrington was down there for a week during the summer and he came to the court to play ball the same day as me. Damn that was so much fun.
Also when I was eight I played Cricket with the Indian team(including Sachin) because my cousins really close friend, Bunto Singh, is really really close to a lot of players on the team and when they were in Delhi he took me to my old club ground to play Cricket with them. I hardly remember it though because I was eight then.

My first socey game when I was 8. It was the team's first game and we were so unprepared that just about 5 minutes before kick off the bloke who was coaching us asked "right. Who wants to go in net?" Everyone looked round trying to avoid eye contact with him, so I just said I'll do it. Saved two penalties and felt dead good about myself.
We lost 11-0 iirc.

I suck...
My first half century (65* off 78)
Fluke goal playing Aussie Rules (snap back around the body from an impossible angle with pressure being put on by the opposition)
Winning a cricket premiership on the back of some guy taking a hat-trick on the last three balls of the match.

Setting up my brother to score his first and only goal in soccer in 1996.
My first rep game where I took a juggling catch at point.

Some massive 0 and 0* ranging from 50 - 89 minutes.
Generally just having fun in the field.
Getting Brad Hodge out has to be my favourite though.
EDIT: Can`t believe how gun most of you are.

A few. But the one sticks out is from under 10's. I was playing rep football for like the town and I was 9 years old. Anyway there was a carnival on and these carnivals were held once every month or two which involved alot of rep teams playing each other. Anyway I was a striker for our team and we breezed through the preliminaries and I scored a fair few goals, including a hattrick. Anyway we got to the final against the town closest to us and we were 1-0 down with 5 minutes left. I dribbled a couple of people and slotted home. Game went to golden goal and in the 2nd half of golden goal extra time I pounced on a loose ball and slotted it into the top corner. So we won the carnival, I got best player and top scorer and I also won this raffle for a Plymouth Argyle kit (the most random prize ever, because at the time they were div 3). Anyway yeah, was a pretty good day.

Some of mine would be
Winning 5 straight junior cricket premierships
Winning 4 out of 6 straight afl premierships
Going back-to-back-to-back for school AFL in one of the hardest and most fiercely contested school sports league.
Scoring my first ton 134*
Taking 7/17 off 8 overs
Representing Victoria in cricket and athletics.
So a few there I'm happy with.

Yeah I see they're going well...Dave Burke and the Aussie import were there when I played. There's probably 1/2 the team the same but some of the new names seemed to be going pretty good. I found the better teams easier to bowl to there than the guys that just swung across the line (*cough* Exeter St James *cough*Neil Pickup said:
) cause there's no bounce.

Some more:
Becoming one of the most successful easts junoir clubs [Though I really have no idea]. Won the comp 4 times i think.
Taking 5/15 in one of those finals
Playing a magnificant straight drive for Emerging blues. Will probably remain my most favourite shot ever.

International Captain
Funnily enough, what I remember best are always the moments of frustration and/or heartbreak, but in terms of favorite moments, I guess two come to mind.
Firstly, playing for my school XI, I came in at number 10, and was accompanied at the wicket by our number 11 who was a six-foot plus beanpole and couldn't bat for peanuts. We had five overs and obviously only one wicket in hand to get 30-odd runs. I hit two fours and two sixes, and after the change of ends he was clean bowled. Doesn't sound that impressive, but the reason it was so great for me was that I'd been a fairly impotent medium pacer up to that point who was rarely given a bowl, and I'd been a very timid tailender with the bat, who opened the face of the bat far too often and didn't hit straight. That innings (for which I got a lot of praise and pats on the back) was the first time I realised I might actually be useful with the bat in my hand, though I'd always wanted to be a bowler.
After that was probably the three premierships I captained in junior comp squash, as my team moved up the grades from E res to B res (we ended up a pretty fair outfit, and we absolutely sucked when we started). Including my defeating of a massive guy we called the Thundercrack (because of the sound his hand made when he hit the wall with it after making a mistake - it also seemed to make the gallery above shake) to whom I'd lost in our last encounter.

Mine was probably repairing the damage after Neil's first and only attempt at opening the batting. 
Other than that, couple of things spring to mind:
1) Taking 3/15 when I'd been written off as a bowler by all and sundry and dismissed a chap, who'd not been dismissed all season and had amassed 500 runs in 7 20-over a side games, with an unintentional off-cutter.
2) My last competitive game, took 3/12 including a hat-trick off the last three balls of the innings then hit 28 off 16 balls in a losing cause after being triggered by a mate of mine when I was miles in my crease.
Won quite a few county rugby union trophies & scored few hattricks in big games but I was a winger so most of the credit goes to the people inside me who'd supply ball. We had couple of 3-Counties (Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire & Derbyshire) rugger players and a potential England number 8 in our side so the wingers had it good.

Well I'm in awe of that.Tomm NCCC said:Lol, everyone has a great achievement, and all I can say is a spectacular own goal
My best moment I guess would be my spell of 4-4 in 4 overs opening the bowling...made up for my effort a couple of weeks earlier where I bowled the first over of the match and at one stage had figures of 0.3-0-18-0.
I was relieved when the rain saved me with 0-27 against my name from 2 overs.

Final game... Last at bat in the semifinal game was a triple to win the game for my team.
Next at bat IN the final game hit a triple again. All the parents and my teammates were bursting with joy, after that the two at bats I had, all I heard was parents screaming my name to cheer me on. Went 3 for 3 that game. However, dropped a catch.
Mediocre season, but amazing playoffs!
Also took out the backcatcher in that final game, who always use to block the base running path.
They say everyone will get their ATLEAST 15 minutes of fame, that game was my 2 and half hours of fame!
Will never forget that day!

Some memories from 30 years of playing sports.
Coming second in my very first 1k cross-country run, age 6, after leading for 980m of it, to the amazement of the whole family. Still the proudest sports-related moment of my life.
Becoming a fairly good high-jumper, winning some regional champs, and also bagging the South Netherlands gold as opening runner in the U13 4x100m relay.
Finishing a number of 8 hour+ mountainbike cross-country marathon races in Germany.
Captaining the local pub's darts team into the first division (..and then to three straight relegations )
