Either Turner's leveller against Liverpool or Chopra's winner against the Jacks. That was made all the sweeter as we'd been taunted by a chant of "You'll never beat the Jacks" coming from the away end seconds before fate took over! :)
Seeing my lad run out as the Cardiff City mascot when city secured promotion from division three against Scunthorpe in 1999.
I was a bit young to either go to, or fully appreciate, the Real Madrid game. Hereford stands out, although I still can’t remember why there were over 30,000 of us to wat h that particular game, but the play off final against qpr was pretty special.
The smile on Bellamy's face when that went in!

I think the invasion of Scunthorpe 1993 deserves a mention
28th December 1968, City 3 Hull 0. My first game and the one that commited me to 49 years of joy.
The game was a Hull stub game (really) for the Arsenal FA cup game one week later.
My uncle who introduced me to that adventure passed away today, succumbing to b*st*rd cancer. RIP Phil and thank you for introducing me to City.
Chris Pike's goal

I'll also go with Turner's Goal in the Final but also add in the Real Madrid goal as that was the first time I ever went to a City match and the noise made that night meant I was hooked for life...
Real Madrid.
Hereford 1976.
Chopra v Swansea.
Buchanan v Swansea 1980.
Ben Turner.
Difficult to chose between those.
winning 1 nil away at chesterfield promotion year 1982/3 to cement promotion back to division 2 the first time i tasted any type of success watching the city . that memory is etched one one's memory as it was the first time i invaded a football pitch . lifting dave bennett on my shoulders at the end of the game and singing with about 1500 others after the game on the pitch was a great feeling back then . I only ever known failure watching the city in those days so i was milking a bit
the year before we lost last game of the season against luton 3-2 at home last game of the season and got relegated from division 2
Surprised no-one mention "OUR PETE"
the 5th one of these:---
Plus this:---
Kav's equaliser vs Leeds, and of course Scott Young's winner.
My time following City is pretty short relative to a few on here but the Leeds FA cup game comes to mind and Bellamy scoring against the jacks away.
As a single moment I'd be hard pressed to chose between Chopra last minute against the jacks and the celebrations following Turner's goal against Liverpool. Seem to remember watching it back the next day and the commentator saying something like 'I've never heard or seen a goal celebrated quite like that anywhere before'. Absolutely crazy scenes!
Graham Moore's winner against Villa in 1961circa that got us promoted to Div1,tied with Norman Dean's winner in Augsburg in 1968 against Moscow Torpedo in the ECWC QF. In a crowd of 30000 me and my good lady only City fans there.
Some great memories here
I’ll throw in Peter Sayers goal against Tottenham which if memory serves appeared on the opening credits of MoTD for some time afterwards
How could I have forgotten the John Buchanan goal against Swansea (1980?). Another "I was there" moment - unbelievable goal!
Reaching the FA Cup Final, so I suppose the Barnsley win.
The lead up on here was epic too with great posts/stories.
