MelvinBragg Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Having read the Motherwell Greatest 100 thread with interest and watching the World Cup the last few days, a question popped into my head. If you could pick five Motherwell players of any era to take penalties in a shoot out, who would you pick? Having thought about it, I'll stick to players I've seen.. Cooper Nijholt Moult StamatelopolousĀ McFadden Ā Pretty sure I've forgotten an obvious one or two. Higdon or Sutton maybe..? Who else have I forgotten?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Stama would probably pull a hamstring just placing the ball on the penalty spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennyc Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago One for us oldies. Dave Whiteford. If I remember correctly. Might be a bit biased though. His first game for MFC was the first Motherwell game I attended. Truth be told I did not know that until 5 minutes ago.Ā St Johnstone at FP in 1966. 3-3. Went on to partner Joe Wark for many a year.Ā Ā Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago One for the real oldies, Johnny Aitkenhead. Never saw him myself, but my father claimed that he was the best penalty taker he had ever seen for us. His ability to accurately pass the ball into the corner of the goal was both simple and effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Did Peter Millar not take a few of our penaltys in the seventies . I was young then but seem to recall him taking them, and scoring a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly did, which was strange for Peter Millar, cause taking a pen didn't involve flattening an opponentĀ š Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ged Brannan and Kevin McBride had 100% records from the spot for us and they both took a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
