Title: penalty taker challenge
Post by: dannyboi-ffc on September 11, 2016, 11:44:27 AM
Like the international caps challenge, can we find 100 players who have scored from the spot for the first team in any competition?

This one will be much harder and one where we need young and old to really get their thinking caps on.

A very simple check of my personal Fulham records shows I have seen 149 penalties scored by 43 different players.  This excludes penalty shoot outs of course.  Kevin Lock with 22 is way out in front in terms of number scored.

Obviously there are quite a few before my time as a supporter.....

Micky Adams
Gary Barnett
Peter Beardsley
John Beck
Dimitar Berbatov
Mark Blake
Luis Boa Morte

Who did Clint score against? I thought he missed all of his. Especially one against Chelsea to win it in injury time
