Gonna go with RWC theme since it's current...
Japan bt. South Africa ('The Miracle at Brighton') 2015 or Japan bt. Ireland this year.
The latter shades it for me though as the first had an element of fluke about it whereas against Ireland (#1 ranked at the time) there was no surprise they just simply played better and deserved it.
Norwich City 3 Man City 2.
And back in the 90's when they just missed out on winning the inaugural Prem League,
following year - UEFA cup; Bayern Munich 1 Norwich City 2.
First English team to ever beat Bayern in their home stadium.
Colchester 3 - 2 Leeds FA cup 5th round 1971.
Was it the same year WBA beat Leeds with that Jeff Astle goal?
Luigi coming back with an astounding late charge to win the TD Fantasy Football league 2019/2020.
Watch.
This.
Space.
Ben Stokes (a kiwi) stealing the 4th test for England against the Aussies.
But we still have The Ashes!
^ That's the one...in the days before handbags.
Memory playing tricks again. I could have sworn WBA were in home strip, but couldn't have been. Perhaps the news had Jeff in home strip when reporting it?
Another upset was Cassius Clay being floored by 'enry.
Scotland not winning the 1978 World Cup.
The US defeat of the Soviet hockey team in the 1980 winter Olympics is hands down the greatest upset of all time. It was dubbed the miracle on ice.

That time we beat Pattaya City FC at their own ground. We celebrated like we had won the league.
Which we did, eventually.
Ray Houghton scoring and Ireland beating Italy 1-0 in USA '94.
I suppose Ray Houghton scoring and Ireland beating England 1-0 in Euro '88 could be added, but no real upset Ireland beating England, really.
I would expect Ireland to nick the odd win over England, after all half the players are English with one semi-Irish great-great-grandparent or some such shit. They're like the Japanese rugby team. And they've won as much.
For me Senegal beating defending Champions France in the opening game of WC2002 stands out.
Leicester beating Southampton 9-0 last night.
UK sports fans forgetting that the clocks go back at 0200 hrs this morning. lol
^^ Thank you kindly....I'd completely forgotten...
England beating the NZ All blacks in the rugby world cup semi finals
