City's best-ever penalty taker? (any era)

[tonea2003]

has to be yaya as i believe he has never missed,

but mario comes close for his sheer audacity

Lee 1 Pen. Chinese player I think from the late sixties / early seventies.

He had this 'gift' of tear-arsing through defenders who would chase him and when he allowed them to catch him, just inside the area, he would catch one of his feet on the back of the other and a over t. Pen every time. Fake Ron and Ash the Crash used to learn so much, sitting and drooling over the old videos! Personally, I was totally appalled at the time with that kind of behaviour on a footy pitch!!!

Ballotelli was cool as a cucumber but YaYa was the one for me. I never doubted it hitting the back of the onion bag

The look on the faces of goalkeepers after the ball hit the back of the net was worth the ticket money on its own. Loved the guy! And my chicken hat!

The european game (i think) where the goaly tried to put mario off with words, he just looked away with disdain and boredom before slotting it into the corner.

Loved him too, shame it didnt work out, he was ‘typical city’

Yaya for me. Never failed

Balotelli was as cool as ice when it came to taking penalties but with the stats, it can only be Yaya.

Yaya is the only one I've never felt like he's going to miss and he never has. Complete calmness.

Maybe because he seldom took any.Certainly when he played with Franny Lee he wouldn`t have.

Tueart joined in March 74 and Lee left that summer, so they hardly played in the same side.

Got to be Yaya
