Am sure, many of us have moments that will stick with us for a very long time, in that Rangers did something quite incredible that we witnessed in person or on TV. Doesn't need to be a wonder goal. Could be a sending off, a moment of madness, an emotional response, something overheard from players. And likewise for worst ever moment.
I wasn't unfortunately well enough to watch the game at Wembley for the Zamora moment and quite a few stand out moments over the years when wasn't unfortunately in attendance. Finances and working away i only saw about two or three games in person during the Adel Season, not old enough for Stan.
Think my best moment for me was Kenny Samson hitting an absolute rocket into the bottom corner of the net. Was in East Paddock drenched and it was hard to see properly in those days on the terraces, particularly if you weren't 6 foot 3. But was great game, fabulous atmosphere, singing all game, a lot of who the frickin hell are you to the Arsenal fans and the like. And we were under a lot of pressure. The ball was laid off to Sansom in second half, I think by Sinton , and time stood still when Kenny reached the ball and struck it with arrow like accuracy, was one of those net rippling moments. Beauty personified !!
It was like an explosion of chaos, for minutes afterwards. I totally lost my nut that day. Haven't had a moment like that since.
Nearest in recent seasons was Jummy Dunne's swerving thunderbolt volley into the top corner for a 90th minute winner, but because am older, am bit more restrained in my reactions !!
It's hard for me to pin down worst ever moments but I unfortunately was actually going to most home games when we had Ainsworth in charge, as I felt we had zero chance of winning and zero chance of seeing any quality football from Rangers, who were more like a Sunday league team all this time. Most home games over the years I have felt, we had decent chances of winning against most teams at home, but that period was brutal !!
My best moment watching on the box was Mackie putting us two one up at City in the Aguerooo game and we had ten men at that point also. My mates boss was with us at the time, not a football fan, he had zero idea, why two so called adult professional men were wetting themselves something chronic and rolling around the floor giggling in fits just because a man kicked a ball between two sticks !!
Worst moment witnessed on TV. It's hazy for me as was in middle of exams at the time, so again wasn't at the game, but unfortunately that Milk Cup Final against Oxford.
We had done brilliantly to knock out Chelsea and Liverpool and only had lowly Oxford in between us and glory. I was certain that finally Rangers would get some silverware. Great wet lettuce. Never was a phrase more apt. The whole 90 minutes of moments for me was seriously depressing, like the players had been drugged or there was some kind of gambling scam going on. Was awful.

Best live, either Leeds 76, Oldham play off semi, SW away or BZ Day.
Worse, too many to remember but last game of the season we got relegated to the third tier, loosing 3–0 at home to Stockport (?), nothing at all from the team, young Cochrane getting sent off not long after coming on as sub! |  | | |

I wouldn't say it's my best / worst, but for one game to experience them both:
Loic Remy wonder goal (no idea how he gets the power on the side foot finish) vs Wigan, absolutely ecstatic, thinking with the three points we could genuinely push on with a good chance of survival despite having 10 men in this game.
Only for Stephane M'bia to give away a needless free kick on the edge of our box and a Maloney 94th minute equaliser. Broke my heart. | | | |

I know...
I'll never forget it, though. Spineless bastárds. My Dad more or less gave up on Rangers as we walked home that day. I still regret that, we could have had so many days at Rangers together, but I swore it broke him. | |

Vauxhall Motors, playoff finals |
I take it you mean those in reverse order!
I would also say Vauxhall Motors at home was my worst moment. Very hard to pick a single best moment, but I'll go for something that happened before a match. And that was standing outside the Weld with Kensalriser and seeing the wave of jubilant fans along Uxbridge Road that told us the news we'd all been waiting for: no points deduction! What followed was an afternoon and long evening of unbounded joy.
That or our promotion at Hillsborough and the aftermath....
Or the Wembley play-off final...... |  |

That is a very heartfelt and sad post Brian pity the game ended like that .
I had the opposite experience with it being my first trip to Wembley and having 2 brothers living in London taking care of me ( buying match tickets etc ) and I loved the whole day trip.
Losing was hurtful of course but for me it was about getting there and experiencing that world which I realished .One of my brothers died mysteriously at 50 and our joke for years after 1986 was my coat starting to smoulder from a guy behind dropping his cigarette or ash on it .The security guy reacted with blinding speed stamping it out fair play to him but it was basically ruined.
If QPR had performed and won it would have been one of the best experiences of my life |  | | |

Best Live: Aston Villa away to get us promoted to the 1st Division for the 1st time.
Best TV: Man Utd 1 - 4 QPR. I just loved how the commentators and Law were making excuses all through, and after the game.
Worst Live: The game that never happened.
This post made me realise that I don't watch QPR on the TV live. |  |

Worst - huddersfield 2 QPR 1 (relegation to League 1) ... Delroy Facey scoring in injury time ... Peter Crouch in tears ... fights in car park heading back to the coach ... proper miserable journey home.
Best - sheff wed 1 QPR 3 (promotion to the Championship) ... 8000 R's fans in South Yorkshire... Wild celebrations ... Gallen, Bircham, Gino, Rowly, Ollie... It felt like a 'phoenix from the flames' moment... Happy Days. |  | | |

Best live: Furlong. Luton. Winner. All the feelings, all at once.
Best on TV: Dennis Bailey - Hallelujah! My brother was recording Moonwalker (the fcuking awful Michael Jackson film) on the other side, otherwise I'd have taped it.
Worst (on TV): too many options (Harry Redknapp used to work here you know) but seeing that bellend Cantona stamp on Wilkins unpunished was pretty low in a game that was already a smoking crater in my psyche. |  |

Setting aside the obvious ones, BZ moment and Chris Day's save, got to be Sinclair's overhead against Barnsley. I just remember the stadium was briefly silent and then erupted as people realised what they had just seen.
Worst, without any shadow of a doubt, was the PO Final in Cardiff - not just the result - just a thoroughly horrible and terrifying day! | | | |

Worst by some distance was sitting in front of the tackle at Fulham and the outcome which broke Martyn Busbys leg.
To this day when sitting watching Rangers I still have some kind of tic where I instinctively lift my leg off the floor when I see a sliding impact tackle coming in on one of ours.
Too many best moments but BZ play off winner and Clive Allen’s winner in the FA cup semi final spring to mind. |  | | |
