….true, but there was no such thing for players like Vernon. I honestly never missed a penalty (one hit the post but I had to re-take because the keeper moved) in all the years I played but I was never a penalty taker for any team I played for despite always being leading goalscorer. Crazy really, but perhaps shoot-outs should be included.

Hated taking penalties,in fact when from when I was a kid until I packed in I only ever took four and missed every one!!too much time for me to think!!the goal looked like a postage stamp and the keeper would look like the incredible hulk stood there

I always saw them as an opportunity of a free shot at goal, plus at that level, hard and low is beating most keepers

I’m sure my mom said she was engaged to/was dating Bernie Wright back in the 70s (Jill Earls). If you can ask your dad if he remembers (well I’d have hoped anyway lol). Sadly she’s passed so can’t ask her anything else.
