Top 5 and Worst 5

[Reesh]

Pen takers you've seen for the club, this excludes Pressman etc who only took them in shoot outs. 

In no order top 5 

Shez

Steve MacLean (ridiculous record for us) 

Hirst

Carbone

Sterland

 

Again no order, shittest 5

De Bilde 

Bannan

Deon Burton

Madine 

Kuqi

[Andyben]

Andy Blair, simply for the hat-trick of pens

[Mark]

Colin West 😳😳

[Billysboy]

Tommy Craig quite impressive goin back a bit.

[Reesh]

Apparently Chris Maguire scored 7 from 7 for us, better than Carbone who missed 1 from his 7.

 

Anyone remember how many pens Brunt took and scored, 3?

[Sparkowl]

Mark Smith wasn't too shabby either. 

[Raynaldo]

Brian Marwood

[Raynaldo]

Sterland

[cheat]

Mark Smith - looked like he might break Franny Lee’s record (wonder if he still has that, suppose I could google it) for the most scored in a season at one point during the 79-80 season. He just fell short in the end.

Tommy Craig

Steve MacLean

Mel Sterland

John Sheridan

 

[Andyben]

Pearson

 

[Sparkowl]

First game I ever saw at Hillsborough was against West Brom and Tommy Craig hit the post with a penalty. Ended 0-0, 1974 I think, I was only 7 and spent most of my time mesmerised by the scoreboard. 

[cheat]

Mark Smith actually fell well short. He got 11 that season, Franny Lee got 15 in 71-72.

Football history being reset in 1992 seemingly and an obsession with calendar years for some reason is hampering my Google searching.

MacLean is the only regular designated taker I've seen for us that didnt miss.

Was his worst one for us

[LiamOwl]

Though he never took them regularly, I seem to think Nuhiu had a good record with them when he did take one. 

[Reesh]

Spark posted Craig missed a pen on his first game. 

 

[Reesh]

My grandad used to tell about a full back called Norman Curtis who'd get the ball put on the spot for him and run from about half way to take the pen, likely embellished. 

[Reesh]

Scored 7 

Missed 1

Bloody hell: I'd completely forgotten him!    😮

A Milan special 

[Skamp]

Unlike Rhodes, at least they took a penalty when the time came.

Rhodes missed one for us a league game. 

[bricat]

I saw Curtis and he took a very long run up. They were very powerful kicks. Not sure of the accuracy rates but when they went into the crowd , some poor sod got smashed. The guy who seemed to score regularly from penalties was Tom McAnearney,

[HoylandOwl]

Best.

Zico, Hirsty, Shez, Maclean, Andy Blair 

Worst.

Colin West x 5

Seem to think it was a night game at home when he missed and then he scored anyway about 5 minutes later.

 

Can't remember the opposition
