Mark Beretta OAM is a journalist, TV host, author, national water-ski champion, and Australia's most-watched sports presenter. But first, foremost, and most fervently he is a sports fan. He's spent his whole life either competing in, commentating on, or just enjoying sport. Since starting as an eager young radio sports reporter in 1990, and then joining the Seven Network in 1995 - a role that's taken him to 13 Olympic Games and just about every major sporting event in between - Mark has had the privilege of being up close to history in the making, including many special moments that this sports-mad nation will never forget. But which were the sporting moments that really got his heart racing, hairs tingling and tears flowing? In Mark Beretta's Greatest Moments in Australian Sport, Mark audaciously counts down to the greatest of them all, from the Australian Women's T20 World Cup cricket win to ... well, you'll just have to see. It could be Steve Waugh's last-ball century at the SCG, Ariarne Titmus defeating the greatest female swimmer of all time, John Aloisi's penalty against Uruguay or Ian Thorpe's five gold medals in Athens. Cadel Evans's Tour de France and Adam Scott's US Masters could both be worthy winners, as could Ash Barty's Wimbledon win or Cathy Freeman's heroics at the Sydney Olympics. Australia is lucky to have a sporting history like no other. You might not agree with the ranking, but you will love reliving these special sporting moments from the best vantage point in Australian sport.

It's 16 November 2005. An unbearably tense penalty shootout to determine whether Australia or Uruguay will claim a place in the World Cup finals is reaching its climax. As John Aloisi takes a few steps back from the penalty spot, the Socceroos are weighed down by 32 years of failure. Eighty - three thousand people at Stadium Australia - and a few million others around the country - hold their breath. Could this really be the moment? In That Night, Fox Sports presenter and football journalist Adam Peacock recounts the amazing background to one of Australian sport's truly unforgettable events. It's a story not just of an epic encounter with Uruguay, but of the three dismal decades that preceded it - decades defined by bureaucratic infighting and incompetence and a string of sometimes heroic, sometimes simply humiliating defeats. The players themselves - and Dutch super - coach Guus Hiddink - explain why this time it was different. How they managed to smash the seven - time hoodoo and ultimately reinvigorate the world game in Australia. The success of the A - League, the Socceroos regularly qualifying for the World Cup finals and winning the Asian Cup, interest in football at an all - time high - it all began on a November evening in 2005 as a single sweet strike from Aloisi's left boot entered Australian sporting folklore. It all changed, That Night.
