I thought they gave it to the Fridge as they were miles ahead of the Pats and were taking the piss.
I never heard of the guy.
Not the first time Iâve had to tell you that youâre too young to understand 
In 85/86 Rte 2 showed a highlight NFL programme on Monday nights with Myles Dungan and it was a roaring success (it seemed to me)
By the time that Super Bowl came around âDe Bearsâ stars and their incredibly intense head coach were well known

The 1986 Chicago Bears occupied a similar sort of niche for Irish people as that of Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and later on, that thing youâd see on Eurosport at Christmas where a load of headbangers try to drive up a very steep hill in Austria on motorbikes and oversized novelty vehicles.
The Fridge is iconic mate.
They first used him against the 49ers when taking the piss. It became a whole meme.

One of those people who transcend the sport. Like a Lomu or Happy Gilmore
He was iconic, no doubt,
But youâve massively overegged the pudding in your original post
That SuperBowl was never a contest
What does a contest have to do with it?
With respect, thatâs delusional. Iâd have been a fairly typical Irish sportsfan teenage boy, I never even heard of the 85 Bears until about 5 years ago when I started doing Fantasy Football. Even now, Iâd know they had a very good defence, Iâve vaguely heard of the fridge but thatâs it, I wouldnât know anything else. I presumed the Fridge was a DE or something. I donât know who they played in the SB. Like - none of my sports mad friends would know what youâre talking about because theyâre not terminally online TFKers like me. Your average Irish sportsfan has barely knows who Aaron Rodgers is because theyâre not on TFK. Theyâve vaguely heard of him.
And guess what, a lot of your sports memories wouldnât be known outside of Europe or South America at a push.
Because if they handed tie ball to the Fridge to win the game it could be considered iconic, thatâs how sports work 
I remember him from back when the NFL used to be shown here but the video and audio were out of sync.
The Fridge went to the Rams for a while Iâm sure.
Correct. Iâd still be looking for the Bearâs result nowadays.
So youâve made your own definition up.

I havenât defined anything, my interpretation is that one of the most iconic sporting moments of all time all over the world would be a critical moment in a game
Iâm merely questioning your own interpretation of the Fridge scoring a TD in Super Bowl XX as one of the most iconic sporting moments ever in Ireland
Doesnât have to always be a row,
Have a look in the mirror for once. Youâre in endless rows with everybody, and maybe itâs time to ask yourself why. You know very little, but think you know all, there lies the rub.
Constantly pontificating, then exposing yourself every time. Never has one man said so much about so little.
