...Ray Stewart. Good point, but I suppose lots of forwards had decent penalty records. Joe Royle and Franny Lee blasted their penalties as did Shearer. I must say, I prefer the main striker taking the penalties.

Matt Le Tissier always placed his penalties rather than blasting.

But he was a 1 in a million player. Rooney's got about a 50% record, Costa missed one the other day, Aguero misses as many as he scores. Unsworth and Baines are the best 2 I've seen for us in the last 20 years or so, both full backs.
...he did, Mate. I'd say he placed them with a fair bit of pace on them. I think he only ever missed one (saved by Crossley).

I seem to recall Ricky Lambert had a good record at pens, but Not sure how he took them.

Firmly I think. Shearer was a great pen taker. Beardsley was as well, always firm, side foot, corner of the net.

Sadly not happy with the draw...it was snatched from the jaws of victory after a late equaliser by Paul Power. Same season we knocked Rs out in 4th round and Soton after a replay in the 5th. Could not quite seal the deal versus City in this game and were well beaten in replay.

Paul Power is forgiven though, what a signing he was.
The pictures therefore were from a City article then - might have been over 2 games -very little writing on them

Kevin Ratcliffe was full back in the first game (complete with moustache) finding his way in the first team.
Sure he got sent off just after they made it 2 all.

That makes sense. Was well gutted that year, thought we were going all the way. In fact we nearly slipped out the division because we hardly won again that season and nearly got sucked into the relegation zone. A bit complacent. In fact we beat Arsenal in the 3rd round too!!
Joe Royle was an ace pentaker first one I see him miss was in the first ever pen shoot out v Brussia Munchengladbach!
It never hurt us though he took over from Bally who had been great the missed a few on the bounce!
Joe used to hit um high top corner job!

He butted Tommy Hutchinson near the enclosure, I was only 11 but I remember my arl feller implying we'd missed our opportunity, unfortunately he was right.
