What Are Your Top 49ers Super Bowl Memories?

Rather than dwelling on past glories, I'm concerned about what they're going to do for a kicker in the Super Bowl. Their roster doesn't show a second or backup kicker, so do they plan on winning the Super Bowl without ever trying for an extra 1 - 3 points with a place kicker? Why no backup? This has been an issue for their past 13 games (now 14 games). At what point do they notice there's a problem with the current kicker and DO SOMETHING about it?

I would have to say.... The Catch In the dallas game...... Joe Montana to Dwight Clark in the end Zone...............

Although that wasn't in a Super Bowl, that's probably the single greatest play in 49ers history ... agree?

I have 2 good memories. The first one is the goal line stand in the first Super Bowl vs. the Bengals. And the second one is the pass to John Taylor also against the Bengals in SuperBowl XXIII.

I have two 49er related Super Bowl memories, and neither had anything to do with the on-field game. In Super Bowl XVI Linebacker Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds had to relieve himself mid second period and rather than run into the locker room he had his teammates gather around him on the side lines.They were standing there, backs to him watching the game, when they realized that the back of their legs were getting wet. Too funny. And Super Bowl XIX was being played at Stanford. I was returning from a business trip, flew into SJO mid day and drove home through the foggy mist that day to arrive just in time to watch the game being played only a few miles away.

that game vs. the bengals in 1989, i still remember the chills.

I actually felt bad for the Bengals coach in that game back in 1989. He was something like 20 seconds away from winning the Superbowl. But as Chris Collinsworth said, as long as Number 16 is on the field, the game is not over. And of course, we know what happened next. The look on that coach's face was something that I will never forget when the Niners scored. And as soon as John Taylor caught that winning pass, I picked the phone up and called in sick at work. Instead we headed to Broadway and celebrated our win in typical SF mayhem style! Go NIners!!!

Joe Montana!

I was living in Alaska when The Catch took place and had not watched football before. Was only watching because I was homesick for San Francisco where I had been living. Well, got totally into the game watching Joe Montana and the team. When The Catch happened, I think I levitated off the sofa!!! That moment is seared into my brain to this day.

My favorite football play of all time is Danny Bunz' tackle during the SB 16 goal line stand mentioned above. Picture perfect tackle on a swing pass to the flat. If it hadn't been perfect, the back would have fallen forward into the end zone because contact occurred at the half-yard line.

Super Bowl XXIV, Jan. 28, 1990: 49ers 55, Broncos 10 - In the Superdome, Montana picked up his third SB MVP by throwing for five TDs - three to Rice - as the 49ers humbled Denver and John Elway.

Looks like to me...next year.

The first SB win was the most amazing and capped a really improbable season. Going from 6-10 to 13-3 in one season without a running game and really implementing the west coast offense which at that time was a highly sophisticated short passing gaem and it was a team that didn't have a winning season for quite a while so it is hard to beat.

Adam January 21, 2013 at 10:01 pm

The catch is always at the Top.. but for a SB Montana to Taylor to beat Cincy the second time after the Randy Cross Holding penalty.. Oh and a quick overlooked one was the FIRST, okay the FIRST pass from Young to Montana vs San Diego in 95
'.. It was like a 65 yd TD.. I was like um, okay I think we have this won easy.. Haa

The greatest play in Forty Niner history was the 4th and 1 ft defensive stop that culminated the goal line stand in the 3rd Q of Superbowl 16 against the Bengals.

All great memeories by everyone thus far. My family is in it's 64th consecutive year aa a season tix holder and we were fortunate to have attended three. In New Orleans in 1990 the restaurants were so crowded, you had to share tables and we were lucky to sit with Denver fans the day before for lunch and dinner. All they could say was how everybody in Denver knew they were going to lose and that they were just happy to be there. Final score: 55-10.

Many awesome memories, but has to be Joe Montana to Dwight Clark in the end Zone.
