Harrysgame Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 That was the perfect penalty. Took some bottle that, muddy pitch and hammered it. Ball was over the line before keeper moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that from the game against Wolves when Pressman put us 3:0 up in the shoot-out and we still managed to lose it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Kevin Pressman was our best ever penalty taker. Why he wasn’t on them regularly is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why goalkeepers rarely take penalties outside of shoot-outs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clud17 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Honorable mention for Nicky Weaver v Chesterfield made a bunch of great saves and then nearly destroyed the back of the net with his winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him, Mark Smith and Sterland all being very good penalty takers. We did used to get a few back then, I wonder what changed? I remember having to battle to stay on the Kop when we were losing 4-3 to Chelsea in the cup, as people started going for their buses and I was further back than normal. I nearly got swept off the back when Sterland got that last minute penalty and everybody pushed back on to see it! There was an old bloke next to me who couldn't see what was happening and he actually asked me if he had scored, while we were all leaping about and screaming as it hit the net. I just grinned and nodded as I rubbed his hat like a total nutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkskaphil Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If I remember correctly, in the 1988/89 season we missed every penalty that was awarded to us and, with the exception of one Pressman save against Aston Villa, every penalty awarded against us was scored. What a season that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ante's Bubbly Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If only Big jack could sort out our contracts now! From a BBC site.....Mel Sterland describes his fondest moment in his career. “I got into the first team at Sheffield Wednesday and Jack Charlton was the manager. I told my dad that I was going to see him and he said, 'don’t be frightened, be positive, you’re in the first team.' The easiest thing to say. “When I went to see Jack all I heard was 'come in' I opened the door and Big Jack had a flat cap on, smoking a cigarette and reading the paper. Mel Sterland in 2008. 'What does t’want' “I just said, nervous sweating and I just didn’t believe that I was in a room with him and I said 'errrm well how about £250 a week boss!' "He dropped his cigarette, cap fell off and choked. 'What about signing that or get out.' Well that his what he said to those words anyway, that I can repeat anyway! “Believe it or not, I signed it. I couldn’t wait to get out of that office. My contract was £50 a week and £60 appearance money. It was in the when you didn’t have an agent, it was a real experience.” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexpistol Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Somebody somewhere must have a stat for penalties taken and penalties scored percentage for all our penalty takers. I know in 1979/80 Mark Smith scored 11/13 penalties. His misses were against Chesterfield at home and Exeter away. Im not sure if he missed 1 or 2 in 80/81 as I think Curran took penalties at some point that season. Edited February 10, 2021 by sexpistol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
