One of these days I'm going to watch it and Crisp will hold on.

There are moments in sport you never forget, this 9 minutes is one of those...
-
50 years ago. Remember it like it was yesterday. Surely the greatest horse race in history
-
Still gives me shivers ....the sheer never say die attitude and stomach for a fight shown by Red Rum
-
Undoubtedly the greatest horse race ever of both codes without question
-
as a child i liked watching the riderless horses carry-on racing, i was always wanting one of them to win!
-
Crisp jumping Beechers Brooke on the second circuit being pursued by Red Rum is one of the greatest sights in Horse Racing history.
-
Great memories, this was when the National was a true challenge for man and horse and the whole country would get involved. No sky tv , no mobile phones, no internet - but we all had the best days of our lives growing up in this era.
-
My old horse Endless Folly ran a great race that day.Such a lovely kind horse,gentle and genuine.
-
Every couple of years i come back and watch this race to see if Crisp finally holds on, unfortunately it never happens :( :(
-
We ll all remember Red Rum quite rightly , but what a performance by Crisp who was essentially a two miler , what a jumper and weight carrying performance especially in the light of Red Rum s future Grand National performances , glory and heartbreak in equal amounts , what a great race .
-
Remember watching this as a schoolboy, and my nanna shouting hysterically at the TV "come on Red Rum" Over and over! It must of had some influence, as I've watched every National since.
-
"He's been out there on his own for so long." What a lovely horse, Crisp.
-
The determination that Rummy had brings me to tears what a great little horse.
-
The fences back then were mountainous.
