In the modern era, it would have to be Dion wouldn't it?

Ernie Hunt? Not modern I realise

I think it would depend what you mean by modern. I think Ron Farmer is the best, certainly since the war. I think Gary MacAlister also only missed one for us?

Not sure how accurate this is, but this says he scored 10 and missed none.

I'd say you're right- Dion. But I don't recall Kilcline missing too many?

My favourite penalty ever was by Killer actually- 88/89 v Arsenal & they were heading for the title, we won a penalty in the 1st half and he missed it. Then we won another late in the game- whole ground hushed & oozing excitment & nerves as we all realised Kilcline was going to have another crack at it- he stepped up and smashed it home- that took nerves of steel.

I wasn't trying to suggest just the modern era, that was just an aside that I thought Dion was out of modern times.

I love how Killer blasted them. Don't think the keeper dare get in his way.

The only ones I remember him missing were when he tried to place them- remember one v Norwich when they'd had Gunn sent off and I think Mark Bowen was in goal, he looked tiny- Killer decided to try and place it in the corner and missed it.

Dion did miss one in the shootout in the FA Cup quarter final against Sheff U. That one still pains me.

Gary McAllister has to be up there right? I think I read he only missed one for us and I seem to remember him taking a lot of them.

I think that was against Walsall first game of the season, 0-0, smashed it against the post in front of the WT.

One against Luton (possibly sealey) nearly took the keepers hands/arms into the back of the net with the ball !

Was it Suffo or Stern John that seemed to miss every time?

He took one of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen during the Coleman era.

The best penalty I ever saw against us was Stuart Pearce, I'm gonna guess 1994/1995 (the day when my favourite player of all time, Brian Borrows, was drafted over to Centre Half and had Collymore in his back pocket all day, an immense performance)- it was the only time I ever saw the ball hit the top of the West Stand- not the west end, mind- the actual stand roof. Pretty sure you can see that on youtube.

He missed once against Arsenal I think and then scored another and there was a game where the keeper saved one and he scored the follow up with some kind of bicycle kick - Wimbledon?

Three out of Bourton’s 189 goals were penalties.

You got it- Vinnie Jones was furious that he was allowed to knock in the rebound, then later on we were treated to one of Speedie's fantastic lobs- my favourite one of all in fact

I thought Dion missed at least a couple (and the QF spot kick). Always hit it in the same spot if I remember - keeper's left.
