I watched this live as a child and never forgot about it. Glad it’s on KZfaq.

Mullet game on point, stone washed jeans, and legend has it after the game he went to a Def Leppard concert

These days, he'd get kicked out of the game for violating the boundaries and landing in the tunnel!!!

I remember this well! I was so impressed with this guy!

This guy is a freakin legend

Damn, that was the best catch by a fan ever.

Guy must have ankle bones made of titanium

If you did this in this day and age you'd be tackled by security and probably shot. My how times have changed.

I remember watching this game Live on Monday Night Football... I thought it was the weirdest but coolest thing I had seen in a football game. The guy couldn't have timed it any better.. But I was thinking to myself, this guy's gonna get in trouble, or he could have broke both of his legs... awesome catch, and I'll always remember it.

I remember that guy actually got on Letterman after that...Love the Al Bundy style high school football line he gives.

It was September 11, 1995, and the fans name is Mike Pantazis. That was an amazing catch!

How did a team never sign this guy to play safety. Legend.

"he just signed a 3 year deal with the bears" hahaha priceless

LMAO!!! The determination, the concentration. Top 10 play in any sport of all time.

Green Bay Packers vs Chicago Bears Monday Night Football September 1995 somebody needs to upload the whole game with the quarter that this play was made

I watched that live! I've been looking for this, thanks for posting the video!

He reminds me of Al from Married With Children. He said he use to play high school football. Nice hair also. But I will say it was a good catch

i remember that game. david letterman had him on his show a short time later.

Michael -you made into the history of sports. Just a few words, just a few seconds, but you made it. Good catch, fellow.

i loved dan dierdorf's explanation of plays and stuff. he was as fun to listen to as madden

The Bears are going to own the division, BEAR DOWN!

That guy gave his entire resume to Lynn, just like a job interview!

Man. I've been looking for this clip (occasionally) for the last 10+ years. So glad you posted it/I finally found it.

Brilliant! What a top bloke: never made the NFL but grabbed the glory after all, eh? I bet his kids are well happy.

this was 15 years ago and brett is still playing wow.

DUDE WAS DRUNK. HE DIDN'T FEEL A THING

GET THIS GUY ON THE BILLS ASAP

I tell you theres better talent in the stands than there is on the field

The announcers back then had fun with it. Today, Joe Buck would say "What a disgusting act by the fan!"

what a spectacular catch!!!!!!!!

He is a better receiver than any receiver on the bears roster, because he can actually catch the ball

one of my favourite sports plays ever,he looks like charlie sheen

i saw it live on tv it was really awsome what an athalete

get. it. ON! this is hands down the best play in NFL history. someone please slow it down and add R Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly.

I remember seeing this live and was "What the?!?"

packers vs bears on MNF tonight. hoping for another classic memory like this one...

I remeber this live. I laughed for days.

Lynn Swan: "You could of gotten yourself hurt..." Repsonse by Guy with Pony Tail: "I played defense, offense, I have great hands. I have played football all my life. I love it baby!" Was this Al Bundy's cousin? I'm surprised he didn't add he scored 4 touchdown's in one game for Sullivan High School.

Da Bears....Bears fans are the best!

I remember watching this game and seeing this live. It's still pretty incredible to watch. The amazing thing is, they didn't kick the guy out AND they let him keep the ball!

The good Ole days. 😢

GO BEARS nice catch AWESOME bears fan

I remember watching this game!

We need this guy for real.

That old tunnel was closer to 20 feet. Huge!

Most famous play in MNF history, hands down! =D

Aww. he gave swanny a hug.

Still the best fan catch!

That was one hell-of-a catch!

Whoa, easy turbo. I didn't bother researching it. Glad you told me. Was hoping I could be corrected without it having to involve swearing, but whatever.

In this overreact society we live in just 15 years after this, he would be pounced on and brutally arrested and charged. The media wouldn't even show the guy let alone interview em.

he was a legend, sad to see him go

I was there, I've been looking for this for some time, I was visiting the city for a meeting and hotel concerige found me a ticket, I saw it as it happened and couldn't believe it at first

You could tell by the way the guy was talking, he thought he might have a shot at getting recruited...LOL....

that guy is awe.....some

that was a fantastic mullet

It’s crazy how he didn’t get hurt at all, the Bears should have really signed him.

Awesome catch,nice to see favre get sacked then too :) Tood bad he threw a 99 yarder some time that day.I was only 3 then,but damn the mullet in '95? Wow.

" DA BEARS, DA BEARS, DA BEARS, DA BEARSSS" yeaa go Bears

But the best thing???? He was a FAN, wanting a football, not fame. Now days, he would be arrested, and charged with a crime. Thank your local lawyer!!!

I saw Gary N. make a catch like this at Ford Field this year.

That Guy Is A Legend.

Surprisingly the dude doesn't get thrown out of the place by officials. I wonder what the team at that time, as well as other former bears like Jim McMahon, Mike Singletary, Will Perry, and Mike Ditka thought.

Damn now that is a dedicated fan!

shouts out to his highschool.... very al bundy-esque!

Bears best receiver since...er...ever, maybe?

This man needs to have a contract! How many people can make a catch like that?

I hope he got to keep it that dude was determined.

And they say white men can't jump lolol

Actually there was a documentary just made. I saw the film premiere at the Midwest Independent Film Festival. Checkit: OFF INTO SPACE. With a national TV audience watching on Monday Night Football in 1995, Bears fan Mike Pantazis jumped out of his seat to catch Kevin Butler's (pictured right) point-after. The rest is history. From director Anna Jung of silentRebel and producer Chris DeWinter of Teletech.

A true Bears fan!

Great catch ! Which NFL team have an WR spot for this guy ?...lol

Best catch in the history of the game period lol.

WOW WHAT A CATCH!

Gotta give that guy an award for catching a ball like that! LOL.

This is true, the NFC Trophy is named after George Halas

awesome catch the best

more important than the catch, this was the start of the packers domination of the bears for years to come hahahahaha

wow, we need that guy NOW

dude thats fucking amazing. and they let him keep the ball lol

I remenber this game Wooow

swann is like you looked like me on that catch

If only youtube had been around when this happened!

So that is what Rex Grossman looked like in 95!

I remember when this nut-job jumped out of the stands to make this amazing catch on Monday Night Football. Can't believe it's been 15 years already! Turns out he was a local kid from West Rogers Park. Get this, the catch actually got him a try out with an arena league football team.

I remember seeing this when it happened. It turns out this guy works as a roofer, and has in the past fallen from high places.

ah, the magic days of Old Soldier!

Thumbs up for the mullet.

no, THE classic moment from this game was definitely Favre to Brooks NFL record 99 yd td pass... this was cool though

It's sad to see how much 9/11 changed us for the worse. Before that, guys like this were interviewed on national television. But if this happened today, he'd be tackled by 17 officers and banned from the stadium. I truly miss the old us.

Anybody know this guy? Whats he doing now - unbelievable catch! Looked like Lynn Swann!

I think he was just explaining why he was crazy enough to do that.

That guy should get an honorary ESPY

by the grace of God and the scrunchie in the party end of his glorious mullet... yes, sir...yes you did

This is how you earn OOG OOOG status. If we ever get a Fans HOF this mullet sportin MoFo is 1st ballet all the way

I don't remember haircuts like his being around in 1995

that was the 96 superbowl champ packers at their best right there... minus the sack. favre didnt want to go down on that one though.

i love this

This game was known as 'The Catch'.

Nice hair cut. Sign him! He played high school football :)
