I still blame the square posts for that miss.

I don't remember Richie Foran missing any. 

I had forgotten Foran. That boy could take a penalty...

Odense. Europa League.  Murphy penalty miss late on as we lost 0-1 and 1-3 on aggregate. Odense finished with nine men but needing only a 1-0 win to go through on away goals we conceded fairly early on and despite lots of pressure we just could not score. Felt very much like a chance missed.

He took and scored with one of the best penalties I've ever seen, at the Home of Good Football. Lashed it into the top corner with venom - no keeper would have saved it. Not my favourite player though.

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.

Ditto. My dad always said the ‘Daddler’ was the best taker of a penalty kick of that era.

Was right in line with the pen spot that night and I can still hear the thud of the ball on the post. 😟

Willie Pettigrew was good at them. I particularly recall the one he scored in 1977 against Fergie’s St Mirren in the Cup at FP when we won 2-1. His celebration was just as good.

Its years since I heard that nickname. My dad also called him that.
