….Collins only ever took 10, Vernon 19 but maybe penalties were less commonplace in the 60’s. Baines conversion rate of 89% is excellent given he took 28, Vernon’s conversion rate from 19 penalties is close to 95%.

sharpy’s rate being that good has surprised me , I genuinely didn’t think he was as successful as that . I must have been nervous in my youth . I do remember being extremely confident when Beardsley stepped up and that proves why .
That Ball and Dean…pathetic

Not even proper football back then too, the keeper was probably a postman and the back up left back
No Jags
All the oldies will be in defending them because of the pitches in a minute

I'd still put Pat Nevin's top of that list.
Missed one a few weeks earlier home to Hammers when we were 2-0 up. We lost 3-2.
Those two missed penalties cost us big time.

And after he missed he stood with his head in his hands in an offside position for what seemed an eternity with Baines trying to get the ball crossed into the area.

I remember him taking 2 both smashed into the top corner of the net, now I've seen the list they're the only 2 he took,I thought there were more.

Unsworth was the best I've seen, which makes no sense at all.
Always felt Arteta would score.
