What a nightmare he had 🙂

How about Ian Woosnam at the 2001 Open? Sharing the lead into the last day, he gets a two stroke penalty for having too many clubs in his bag.

Graham Poll - first ref to award 3 yellow cards to one player in the same world cup game

Lindsey Jacob-Ellis (Snowboarder - Winter Olympics) - YouTube

Jimmy White - World Snooker Final nearly man

Dianna Ross - Missed penalty at USA '94.

What about Leon Lett in the SUPERBOWL LETT was a defensive tackle for the Cowboys he recoved a fumble and was running it in for a td when he decided to show boat he started walking into the endzone with the ball sticking out WHEN THE BILLS DEFENSIVE PLAYER CAUGHT UP WITH HIM AND KNOCKED THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS I THINK THE PLAYER WAS STEVE TASKER DB ...[text shortened]... FROM THE EARLY 90S NOT SURE WHICH ONE THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST BONEHEADED PLAYS EVER LOL

Why not pick a Leon Lett blunder that actually affected the outcome of a game? Such as his gaffe near the end of the Thanksgiving Day game between Dallas and Miami, where after a blocked field goal attempt, he made a play on a dead ball, making it live again, allowing the Dolphins to recover and retry the field goal.

I was laughing when Lindsey was saying she came off the jump 'funny' and was trying to adjust in the air... She later changed her story.

P-

The 1912 Boat Race when both boats sank.
Oh how we laughed !
(well, maybe scipio2 laughed)

Or the 1984 race when Cambridge wrote off their boat minutes before the start of the race.

He still won though, so I wouldn't class it with some of the other cock-ups.

Good choice Millerman

Lol, I remember that, Alan Donald, what did you do? Hahahaha, I recall laughing at it when it happened, schoolboy error by someone that really should know better.

Hell, check out any cricket world cup game that SA played and you'll see some stupid blunders...

Mark Boucher blocking that ball against SL in 2003, when a draw was not sufficient to get SA through in their pool... This, after he checked a ball before on his D/L scorecard!

Jesus!

Lets not forget Robinsons recent blunder...
