Who's been Reading's most successful Penalty taker from the 70's on? Must have taken a minimum of 5
Trivia Question
As there ever been a professional player who could take penalties with either foot and did so in a competitive matches?
Tony Le Mesmer Trevor Morley is surely our best penalty taker in the last 30 odd years. Missed 1 from about 15-20 and he put the rebound away anyway. So we scored from every pen he took.
Quinn actually had a fairly poor record, I can think of 3 he missed.
juanpablo didnt Dean Horrix take pens for Reading and never missed one?
reading_fan Also, on the flipside of the original question, does anyone (Cube/strap) have any stats on our keepers and what their penalty saving record is like?

Birmingham at home in the FA Cup (live on TV
Bradford away the year later, the home crowd had been given him (as an ex-Bantam) grief all match, his miss got a bigger cheer than any of Bradford's goals
York away in 1994 - a lovely balmy evening, we were really shit that night, and I can recall vividly (as I type this) watching the ball soar over my head on its way out of the ground. That was the evening that Curtly Ambrose reduced England to 40-8, we were listening to it on the radio after the match and we lost two wickets in between pulling into the pub car park and getting the first round in. True story.
Maguire Somebody PMed me saying they were going to slit my throat the next time they saw me at a game
handbags_harris Caskey I remember missed a few for us, Oldham at home 99/00 springs to mind as one.
Morley did indeed only miss one penalty, home to Huddersfield 96/97.
Kitson missed a couple for us as well, his first was away at Millwall 05/06, then of course Sheffield Utd on Valentine's Day the same season.
Did Senior ever take penalties for us?
Is that 2.5 with each foot? or 2 with each foot and one with his head? (Is it legal to take a penalty with your head?)royal_cornwall Trivia Question

One in a playoff semi-final no less.
Jackson Corner No he didn't the only time I remember him taking one was against Oxford at home in the cup. Oxford had a real good team at the time but we battered them that day. He missed we drew the game and got trashed in the replay.
