5 Penalty Takers

Who would you choose to take 5 penalties for Everton in a cup final.

Players can be from your era only. So if you’re a forum pensioner like @Joey66 you will have a greater range of players to choose from.

1. Unsworth
2. Arteta
3. Baines
4. Rom
5. Gylfi

Honourable mention for Onana.

I seem to recall the babysitter missing a fair few pens. I never liked his style.

Baines no. 1 for sure

Not Rom, missed that Utd pen when it really mattered.

To be fair Baines missed in a league cup quarter shootout v Leicester too.

Sigurdsson missed 4 of his 12 he took for us

Id still go with Baines though

Baines
Unsworth
Arteta
Stuart
Calvert Lewin
 
….Roy Vernon would be my first choice, fantastic penalty taker. I note Dixie Dean missed 6 but when I was little my Dad convinced me he took them with his head :Blink:

I really should have had DCL in there. Seems solid enough from the spot.
 

Roy Vernon 1 only ever missed one away at Spurs - sometimes he gad the cheek to point & tell the goalkeeper which corner of the ball was going ......

2 - Big Joe Royle hit it hard & high

3 - Unsworth

4 - Baines

5- Bally

Special mention to Sandy Brown who took one in a pen shoot out in the first ever penalty shoot out & Al Istanbul burst the Gwadys street almost burst the Gwladys street net..

Alan Ball is my all time favourite player,but I wouldn't have him in the top 5 penalty takers
I actually thought Johnny Morrissey was a better penalty taker.
