The BBC Grand National 1977 - Red Rum makes history

Never get tired of seeing this. The greatest of them all. He jumped those fences tremendously well. He clearly loved Aintree. Even when leading the parade for all these years after you could see he knew where he was. The place lit him up. Will never ever forget him. What an inspiration he was.....No words are fit enough to describe him and the memories he has given us

I just watched the greatest grand national horse of all time once more ..I'm a grown man and remember visiting my dad in hospital dying of cancer with his radio shouting come on Rummie..still cry everytime I watch that race

The most beautiful moment in horse racing history. Tears rolling down my cheeks - again!!

My favorite moment in sports history. But you cannot beat the commentary which sums it all up. "The 12 year old RedRum coming along in great style... The crowd willing him along. You've never heard the likes of it at Liverpool..." It is fitting that they buried Red Rum at the finish line at Aintree. Legend.

Every time I watch Red Rums national victories I get very emotional. The fences on the Aintree course now are nothing like they were then. I don't think there will be another horse like him. 5 times he ran it and never fell! A true hero, love him.

You can see it in his eyes "I'm having this boys, see ya".... Best horse ever. Tears of joy, and it's 2020.

"...They're willing him home now!" Like Kenneth Wolstenholme's "They think it's all over..." is one of the most iconic commentaries in sporting history. Superb stuff.

Red rum was a horse that is immortalised in history there will never be a horse like him again

After this Grand National, Boom Docker was sent to my old Trainer Michael Masson to help coax him back into jumping and I was given the task of schooling him! We just did it quietly by popping him over the some straw bales then over the hurdles and then finally we took him off to Plumpton to school him over the fences and I still get goose bumps when I remember coming up to the first fence and expecting him to put in another couple of strides like all the other horses around me but he just took off into the air and I thought we're not gonna make it but he landed as far the other side as he took off from and all I really had to do was sit tight over the rest of the fences! He was by far the best jumper I ever sat on and will never forget him and will always wonder what might have been had he not refused in 77? But then again if he'd had kept going, I would never have got to ride him!

Love how Rummy waggles his ears at the cheer just before he reaches the line!

Boom Docker must have thought "What, you want me to go round again? F**k that" Gold old Rummy - always a treat to watch.

I used to love it when Red Rum returned to Aintree after he retired. You could tell he knew exactly where he was.

Oh my the memories of Rummy & Peter O’Sullivan’s commentary “you’ve never heard anything like like it in Liverpool “ never the likes to be heard again in my lifetime

"It's hats off for a tremendous reception you've never heard one like it at Liverpool! ... Red Rum wins the National!" Such great commentary saluting such a legendary horse. Both Rummy and O'Sullevan were the best. Unforgettable.

Never be a Horse like Rummy,always will be the best National horse ever. 3 1sts and 2 2nds, Peters commentary, the crowd when jumping the last. always tear in my eye.

Sometime in the early 70's, I remember a smoked filled front room, cricket , and my dad screaming for Red Rum to win . Magnificent horse. One of the few joys of the 70's.

Look at him prick his lugs up soon as he crossed the line, what a legend that horse was..

I was a Red Rum fun when I was six. I remember sitting at home with with a bottle of dandelion and burdock and a box of maltesers. When Churchtown boy loomed up behind him I was terrified he was going to get beat. He just popped it as if it wasn't there. The crowd Road and I just burst out in tears. There will never be another day like it in sporting history and I wasn't even a racing fan.god bless you tummy. You will always be in my heart

It's happened again.......watching it for the umpteenth time and crying my bloody eyes out for the umpteenth time.

Still moved by watching it after all these years Still the greatest achievement in all sport what he did
