Who is our most successful penalty taker of all time? (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

In the modern era, it would have to be Dion wouldn't it?

[Gibbo]

Ernie Hunt? Not modern I realise

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

I think it would depend what you mean by modern. I think Ron Farmer is the best, certainly since the war. I think Gary MacAlister also only missed one for us?

 

[Otis]

How many did Dion miss?

 

[Otis]

Not sure how accurate this is, but this says he scored 10 and missed none.


Dion Dublin - Penalty goals

 

[Ring Of Steel]

I'd say you're right- Dion. But I don't recall Kilcline missing too many?

My favourite penalty ever was by Killer actually- 88/89 v Arsenal & they were heading for the title, we won a penalty in the 1st half and he missed it. Then we won another late in the game- whole ground hushed & oozing excitment & nerves as we all realised Kilcline was going to have another crack at it- he stepped up and smashed it home- that took nerves of steel.

I wasn't trying to suggest just the modern era, that was just an aside that I thought Dion was out of modern times.

I love how Killer blasted them. Don't think the keeper dare get in his way.

The only ones I remember him missing were when he tried to place them- remember one v Norwich when they'd had Gunn sent off and I think Mark Bowen was in goal, he looked tiny- Killer decided to try and place it in the corner and missed it.

 

[AlansEyes]

Dion did miss one in the shootout in the FA Cup quarter final against Sheff U. That one still pains me.

 

[Mask]

Gary McAllister has to be up there right? I think I read he only missed one for us and I seem to remember him taking a lot of them.

I think that was against Walsall first game of the season, 0-0, smashed it against the post in front of the WT.

One against Luton (possibly sealey) nearly took the keepers hands/arms into the back of the net with the ball !

Was it Suffo or Stern John that seemed to miss every time?

[skyblueinBaku]

Ron Farmer - scored 22 of the 23 penalties he took for us.

 

[Sick Boy]

Eliot ward

He took one of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen during the Coleman era.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

He took one of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen during the Coleman era.

The best penalty I ever saw against us was Stuart Pearce, I'm gonna guess 1994/1995 (the day when my favourite player of all time, Brian Borrows, was drafted over to Centre Half and had Collymore in his back pocket all day, an immense performance)- it was the only time I ever saw the ball hit the top of the West Stand- not the west end, mind- the actual stand roof. Pretty sure you can see that on youtube.

do I recall him trying (and failing) a dink/panenka ???

Against Southampton I think. We won 4-0 or 4-1??

The worst was Sammy sideways - his run up was in line with the goal line scuffed it and missed on the lhs - cant remember who it was against - edit was Swansea lost 0-1 Clingan took over from McSheffrey who had skied the previous one

And what about you, Clarrie? How many did you score?

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I'm sure Brian Borrows scored a few.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Norwich or Middlesborough I think. Oh Elliot, you twat !!!

ps or maybe Southampton - would trust Covmarks memory over mine !!!

He missed once against Arsenal I think and then scored another and there was a game where the keeper saved one and he scored the follow up with some kind of bicycle kick - Wimbledon?

Yeah, boxing day 1994, i was in the west stand.

That was the game I did kick 4 cash. Bought an iPad nano with the winnings.

 

[clarriebourton]

Three out of Bourton’s 189 goals were penalties.

You got it- Vinnie Jones was furious that he was allowed to knock in the rebound, then later on we were treated to one of Speedie's fantastic lobs- my favourite one of all in fact

Here we go- that one is actually easy to find

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I thought Dion missed at least a couple (and the QF spot kick). Always hit it in the same spot if I remember - keeper's left.
