Eton vs Harrow cricket match at Lords. One man and his monacle pre. 1979 ; now full of braying financial cozeners and their sycophant leeches.Manchester City v Chelsea.
Not so very long ago this fixture was more likely to be a relegation clash than a title decider....

The Paralympics.
The Heptathlon/Decathlon/Curling and any number of obscure sporting disciplines which suddenly become massive if a Brit wins a Gold medal.
Only for the sport to retreat to anonymity when the Olympics are over
(well, ask the boys in your local to name the Olympic Decathlon champions since Daley Thompson retired)
And any of you Micks sat there chuckling......name another Irish woman boxer besides Katie Taylor

Aberdeen Vs Celtic has become the showpiece match in Scotland now
Two decent sides who play relatively nice looking football
It's getting a bit more heated amongst the fan bases though now that The Dons are actually starting to challenge Celtic's domestic dominance
It won't last I think, but good on Aberdeen for actually giving Celtic a legitmate rival for the title this season

Manchester City v Chelsea.

I've just had a little research online - The season we won the Cup in 84 and went on to greatness under Kendall, City & Chelsea were in the old 2nd Division. City finished 4th, Chelsea won the 2nd Div Championship.
How football changes eh.
And Chelsea were relegated again a couple of years later.....coming back up again in 1990 I think.
City as we know were a real yo yo team back then.....sinking as low as the third division in the late 1990s.
