King gets manager's backing to take penalties
Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd has announced that Marlon King will continue to take penalties for the Sky Blues after the striker scored his first proper first team goal since joining the club by converting a 78th minute spot kick to give City a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough at the Ricoh Arena.
Speaking to the News Of The World, Boothroyd said: "I don't think anyone could have taken the ball off Marlon. As soon as it happened he was after it.
"To be fair, he has taken a fair few penalties for me in the past and has scored plenty.
"Lukas (Jutkiewicz) normally takes our penalties but we were still waiting to get him on the pitch.
"If the same thing happens and Marlon is on the pitch, he will take them."
