Thanks Toddy/Mark,

I now recall that save, what a "keeper" and saved it when a "proper" ball was being used, those were the days !!.

On the day the team that adjusted itself to the atrocious conditions were worthy of the points. Penalties !!, for you "oldies" in the crowd, "Bring back Arthur Bateman" who I cannot recall missing one, unless Toddy can let me know otherwise !!.

Don't think Don Ratcliffe ever missed a pen always low down and about an inch away from the posts.

Gosh, I remember those days too!

About pens which Vics keeper used to take them,I don't remember him missing one?.

 

[Alex Dickinson]

Gordon Banks had a 100% success rate for penalty taking for Vics

That's right Alex,but I meant in competitive match's.

Have all our missed penalties been saved or have any gone wide?
Just wondering as I'm sure all the ones I've seen us fail with have been saved.
