So that's about 95% of footballers who've ever taken penalties out of a job, then. :lol:

Franny missed a fair few as did Serg, Erling, Kev, Gundo. I saw Joe Hart save one from prime Messi. That's a lot of non proper footballers

All footballers mentioned there are shite and should call it a day. Never seen Kolarov or Jack miss one.

Kola scored 8 out of 13 pens across his career, so less than 62%.
I'll give you Jack, as he's 1 from 1 so far... :D

To be honest, I've always seen Messi as a shit penalty taker.

Yaya never missed one for us at least. Did Franny miss a lot? I think he was a pretty good penalty taker.

Yaya was 15 from 15 across his career, apparently. A rare feat, even among professionals who take them regularly. Top class!

I remember Franny blasting a couple over the bar. He actually scored 19, missed 4 so basically missed 1 in 5.

According to transfermarkt site, none of the 4 he missed were while playing for us, as far as I can see.

Might have been England, he's still missed a few.
Anelka btw missed one in the CL Final shoot out against the rags.

Le Tissier had a fantastic record. 47 out of 48 or something like that. He said he used to wait for the goalkeeper to go one way and then went the other.

Do Newcastle fans realise they’ve got to go away to these teams as well? Their fans caused trouble against PSG and again last night against Dortmund. They’re going to get themselves leathered.

I saw him miss versus Derby in a 4-0 drubbing in the early 70s. Then again, my memory...

My mistake, on closer checking he did miss one for City, in Nov 67 against Burnley. His other misses were 2 for England and 1 while playing for Derby against Newcastle in the 75/76 season.
