winktheram Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Some chat in the Tom Lawrence thread about pennos and Tom's 'panenka', started me thinking about penno takers. Gerry Daly was pretty consistent and Deano hit em very well. Can't really remember Hinton's tbh. Read a stat from some German analyst about high and wide were the most likely to be scored. Deano's fit that Bill. But for me, Alan Biley. Straight down the middle about 6 inches under the bar. Loved his pennos. Best for me, just loved the way he 'wacked em'. And an honourable mention to Nathan Ellington as my second fav, the first time I'd seen anyone wait for the keeper and then pea roll it into the other corner. Stoke away in the QF of the league Cup was awesome- never looked nervous and I never thought he was going to miss- utter confidence.

AndyinLiverpool Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Saunders had one saved by Niall Quinn, which leaves quite a big blot on his copy book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 In terms of the past 20 odd years, I don’t remember Steve Howard missing one. Head down, no pathetic stuttered run up, and just a hard-placed finish into the corner. Harry Wilson was admittedly good. While our shoot-out win over Southampton in the playoffs 2007 was arguably an example of how to take perfect penalties. Those who stepped up and scored gave the GK no chance, even if he went the right way. Considering the occasion, nerves of steel.

IslandExile Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Harry Wilson for the one at Leeds. And talking of pressure penalties.... Waggy, of all people, last game of last season. Charlie George's penalties always seemed to go in. Gladys Hinton's record will always be tarnished by the one against Juventus. Vague memories of Steve Buckley hammering them in.

He missed one in his last game for us, Blackburn at home, would have put us 2-0 up, within 5 mins of him missing we were 2-1 down. whiteroseram and Bris Vegas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I’d have said Vydra until he had one saved away at Burton. Stevie Howard’s a shout. Did Waghorn ever miss one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Makes me think of that mad penalty shoot out at ManU in Lampard's season. Are all those players gone now??? Who's left from that team?

Ambitious Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Waghorn missed a couple for us, I believe. He definitely missed one against Swansea and West Brom. I’m not sure if there is others. I don’t believe Ellington ever missed a penalty in his career, in no small part to his bizarre technique that just worked. He made it look so easy. No one better than him.

Dimmu Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Blackman. He took one incredible penalty, admittedly it was the only one. His overall career stats are decent as well, 16/20, which is fraction better than the average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job done Class penalty from TC under huge pressure, then slid on his knees in front of us in the Columbo terrace. it was never a penalty and how Bobby Davison didn’t get booked for throwing a huge lump of mud at the Rotherham defender in the free kick just before was incredible. Steve Buckley took a few from memory and similar to Julian Dicks, just hammered it. Regards Gangway D from the terrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
