Earlier today, we asked our fans on Facebook and Twitter, "What is your fondest 49ers memory/moment?" It is always interesting to hear different answers from various age groups. Some fans were not around during some of the amazing 49ers moments in the early 80's. Others went back before the 80's. Do your memories involve Joe Montana, Steve Young or even John Brodie? Do you remember a moment with Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens or even R.C. Owens? We'd like to share some of the answers we got from our fans. Let us know what your favorite 49ers memory or moment was.

"I have so many, but two that come to mind: my first game in person at the stick... NFC Divsional Playoffs against the Bears the last year we won the SuperBowl... we blew them out, it was sooo fun to watch Young, Rice, even Deon! Also from this past season, My wife and I took our (almost two at the time) daughter to her 1st Niners game. It was the overtime win against the Rams. My little girl was so excited and had her niners gear on! Great memory!" - Danny Wright via Facebook
