Batter Burger inspired this thread query ...respect man.

If your life depended on this would you opt for Pirlo or maybe FitzHenry?

Definitely NOT Terry!

Roy Race. He never missed a penalty in his life. Plus he could regularly save his family after they had been kidnapped in South America. Often on the day of games in fact. Name me one player who can do that these days?

Roy Race was a prima donna...the backbone of that great Melchester side was Blackie Gray!

My world crumbles''

Don't forget Pak Soon on the wing. Melchester, an early mover in spotting the benefit of an Asian player in the team to sell jerseys in the far east.

could you even imagine Maurice Fitz missing a penalty into a soccer goal.
Roy Race was surprisingly human and missed plenty of penno's, his form would slump regularly, always a happy ending though with a hat trick in the cup semi final or something.
Hot shot Hamish would be the man unless his pet goat McMutton had eaten the penalty spot or something.

You forgot Chrissy Waddle, probably the worst of them all.

John Connolly had a good record from the penalty or 21 yard line!
