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

[bluebaja]

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

Only those of us that are of a certain vintage will remember that old joke !

Ah back in the day when the ref's celebrated our goals :)

See the death ray stare from Franny at the end there..

I remember Joe Hart saying that of all the pens that Ballo took in practice he only ever missed one.
If I had to pick someone to score one to save my life he would be my choice.

 

[Gelsons Dad]

Yaya.
You could go for a piss knowing he would score it.

He was great but I would put my life on Ya ya before Mario.

It certainly seems crazy to pick a guy who never missed a penalty for us over another guy who also has never missed a penalty for us.

Crazier thought would be who used to take them when both were on the pitch at the same time ?

When aguero and yaya were on the pitch together aguero would take the pens, same with tevez. Doesn’t mean either of them are better than yaya but your logic would suggest so

No my logic was about Mario, who also hasn't missed a penalty for us, where as Tevez and Aguero are awful penalty takers and have missed plenty but nice try at some deflection but do carry on.

So purely in terms of numbers its:
Yaya 15/15
Anelka 10/10
Balotelli 9/9
Elano 8/8

What are the numbers for the chinese lad Lee 1 pen?

 

[mancityvstoke]

13 penalties, the most ever scored by a player in a single league season.

He wins for me on that alone

We probably wins on the number scored. But did he ever miss?
