Favourite Penalty taker over the years...

[North East Blade]

I recall vas Borbokis was free kick taker was he on pens aswell

 

[Torrix1889]

Don Givens..

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Woody and Kenworthy. And a mention in dispatches for Keith Eddy, who seemed pretty sound from the spot.

 

[Stanthemanfan]

Blackman, one of the best run ups iv seen pre pen
Baxter, never put it in the same place and he could put them anywhere, pity he hasn't got a brain!

 

[Torrix1889]

To be honest, although he had a 100% record until Friday night I wasn't convinced about Didsy as a penalty taker....the ones he scored were fortunate....side foot, low power and too close to the keeper....for me it was only a matter of time before hi missed one!

Really wish Billy had taken it, he would have just smashed it down the middle.

 

[Longtimesupporter]

Simpson with left foot. Woodward with right foot.

 

[Silent Blade]

Going back some years, but I can't remember Ronnie Simpson ever missing one. Perhaps Silent can confirm?

Will check when I get home. Saw a photo of him taking one against Manchester City in 1961-62 season. Blasted it to the roof of the net.

 

[The white wall]

Duffield never missed, never looked like missing. Calm and composed.

You tart...I was going to do sommat similar....

To Me Colin Morris...did he ever miss one...begs the question...

 

[Silent Blade]

See Woody's penalty against Peter Shilton (best keeper in the world at the time). Woody usually places his penalty but this time it was a perfect one with power.

Start from 27 minutes 30 seconds

After Goldie's unfortunate and not great penalty on Friday it got me thinking about penalty takers over the years and who was the greatest to watch and who you had most confidence in scoring it ?

Personally Beattie has got to be up there , loved the run up and quick turn and dispatched usually right in the corner , did he miss one for us ? got a feeling he missed one ?

Whitehouse -loved his penalties - top corner , hit with power and pace and don't think he ever missed one !?!

earlier days remember Duffield being a very trusted penalty taker , From memory always seemed top put them right in the corners - again not sure if missed any ?


Blackman had a great Pen to and very calm / assured penalties and pretty sure he was 100% successful

???

international break eh?
go on then andy gray.. curveball


woody .. no brainer

Missed 12 times but often scored on the rebound.

 

[guancheblade]

Billy Sharp, doesn't matter if he misses, he still steps up again to take the next one as he always backs himself to score

Unless it's against Millwall

Roger Nilsen - 100% record.

 

[Roygbiv]

Don't think Bobby Ford ever missed and took a cracking pressure penalty against Wednesday.

Talking of Wednesday, Kevin Pressman was a stupidly good penalty taker

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Billy Sharp, doesn't matter if he misses, he still steps up again to take the next one as he always backs himself to score

Oh Swiss,
That's like giving the fat ginger lad a 'well done for taking part' medal for coming last.
FAIL AND YERRRRRR OUT!

 

[Rudders]

Dane Whitehouse

Billy Sharp, doesn't matter if he misses, he still steps up again to take the next one as he always backs himself to score

Not now he doesn't though I accept the general point.
Hasn't he agreed with McG and CW to let who is scoring, continue?
His last miss handed over to McG.
Who now hands over to him.

Billy Sharp, doesn't matter if he misses, he still steps up again to take the next one as he always backs himself to score

I don't think that mentality should always be lauded once you've missed one or two. That isn't a dig at Billy, I'm talking generally.

Beckham was a crap penalty taker but continually kept stepping up and arguably cost England at least getting deeper into tournaments, and maybe even winning in Portugal.

 

[Killamarshblades]

In my lifetime then I would say Beattie closely followed by Blackman and Gray.

Jack Lester was the best at winning penalties though.

Daniel Bogdanovic won pens when no one was near him!

 

[YouFUMS]

Tony Kenworthy
If he'd been on the pitch on 2nd May 1981, we would never have troubled the 4th Division

I sighed that hard I just had to sit down......., that coach journey home was a quite subdued affair.

 

[Topplayersleave]

The original and the best, when you consider what was at stake
Shame he didn't play for us,

But I'd love one of our players to be so good that they'd have the sheer audacity to do this

 

[Geordie Blade]

Duffield never missed, never looked like missing. Calm and composed.

He scored 7 out of 7. Including two in the same game against Portsmouth.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Woody for me

 

[United Aren't Back.]

I recall vas Borbokis was free kick taker was he on pens aswell

No Graham Stuart.
Preceded by Dane Whitehouse.

 

[Gannon's perm]

Has to be Duffield. Didn't miss, didn't look like missing.

 

[JohnDenver]

Mitch Ward.

 

[DH9]

Sheridan, Pressman and Simonsen.
