Worst penalty ever!

Worst for me was sept 1991 0-1 down at home to Everton get a late penalty and for reasons that still escape me 20 year old debutant Michael Hughes takes it and almost clears the North Stand roof, no big balls seniors would take it, including Keith Curle... which brings back how grateful I was he couldn’t take them... owe my life to his miss at Cardiff... if that had gone in then it could have been good night Vienna after the game for a lot of us
 
Just seen the penalty miss from Fulham yesterday, terrible for the player and his team who are struggling this season. 1:0 down and deep into injury time and he tried to chip it in...

Oh and here is my favourite penalty:

I posted that penalty a few months ago and one poster claimed he'd taken one where he hit both bars...
 
It takes a special kind of miss when the keeper wants you to score the 100th goal of your career on the day you retire... so tells you which way he’s going. Step forward Stuart Pearce !!

It is the way the scorer sinks to his knees in celebration that makes me laugh, cos he was bloody lucky indeed. I'm guessing it's a cup game shootout? Did this pen win it do you know?
