Correct.

They even included it in their shirt design for 2006.

If there is nothing pending I will throw one up, quite easy, may have been asked before.

Who holds a record of missing 3 penalties in the same international match?

Yes. He's highly unlikely to ever play for England but could play for another country.

I'll say Victor Moses, played for England Under 21's before playing for Nigeria senior team. Cost Chelsea around £9 million bills.

We got all five. Wickham, Reo-Coker, Curtis Davies, Anton Ferdinand and Dean Richards. Jay Rodriguez was mentioned too but there's varying reports on whether he cost just over or just under £7m.

Moses is a good shout and would have been included had he not played for Nigeria. The question didn't specify playing for England, just that they hadn't played international football at all. Carl Cort would have made it in too but he recently togged out for Guyana.

Wow a toughy...

I imagine Luis Suarez is one?

I'll throw out some other names as a quick guess:

Malouda, Walcott, Valencia

Al Capwned

Peter Crouch?
Roy Keane?
Nani?
Emile Heskey?

Morzadec

Pires, Lungberg, Duff

Morzadec

I imagine at some stage Giggs and Scholes have scored a penalty but I'll throw the 2 of them out there as I never remember either of them being first choice on spot kicks

Kolido wrote: »

Scholes, Solskjaer, Heskey, Ljungberg, Osman?

Dion Dublin maybe?

Morzadec

Joe Cole is another potential, would've been behind a good few players at Chelsea and not sure if he scored any at West Ham

grohlisagod

Bellamy?

intellectual dosser

Paul Robinson the goalkeeper.

Scored a PL goal, but cant think of him taking a penalty.

EDIT: I need to start reading questions a bit better - ignore all.

Al Capwned

Giggs definitely has scored a pen.

From whats mentioned so far, ye have 3, Heskey, Solskjaer, and Duff

grohlisagod

Bale can't be too far off.

Morzadec

Ha a return of just one from all my guesses!

Kevin Campbell isn't by any chance right again is he?

I think we need to think of goal-scoring midfielder stalwarts that have had long careers in the Prem. Usually the top striker is also the penalty taker.

Lee Bowyer, Kieron Dyer, Wright-Phillips, Gus Poyet.

Actually is it possible Torres hasn't scored a penalty in the Prem?

(I'm going for the scatter-gun approach here!)

Morzadec

Benayoun might be a possibility too

grohlisagod

Torres scored a pen this year against Sunderland. Poyet must have taken one at some point surely. Kanchelskis maybe?

Kolido

Kevin Campbell and Lee Bowyer are correct, thats 5 now.

Don't remember him scoring one for Spurs. Got a few for Wales alright.

Ray Parlour?

Lovely Bloke

Is yorke on the list?

Did Cahill ever take Peno's for Everton?

Morzadec

I imagine he's scored a peno but then again he would have been behind Nolan when he was at Bolton so worth a shot...

Kevin Davies?

That's an excellent shout.

grohlisagod

Paul Ince?

GavRedKing

grohlisagod wrote: »

Just trying to think of goal scoring midfielders.

Could be wrong but I dont think I've ever seen him step up for one.

Morzadec

Probably spelling his name wrong but Leonardson from Norway who played for WImbledon and Liverpool could be one. Seem to remember him getting on the scoresheet a few times and likely enough he never took a pen

Kolido

GavRedKing wrote: »

Cahill does indeed make the list, nice answer.

None of the others mentioned since are correct I'm afraid

gav86

Les Ferdinand never used to take penalties and i'm sure he scored plenty of PL goals he missed one before for england in a shoot out in some mickey mouse tournament as well.
Andy Cole never used to take peno's either and i'd say he would be in that top 10.

Les Ferdinand is correct, top of the list in fact.

Andy Cole didn't make it, must have taken a peno at some point

billymitchell

Duncan Ferguson and Niall Quinn. Dont strike me as the peno taking types

Niall Quinn makes the list. Just 2 to get.

did le tissier take penalties?
edit: brainfart

Txt this question to a few buddies they've only got 4 so far, one of them though ia an Aston Villa fan and reckons Gabby Agbonlahor could be in with a shout of being on that list.

Never seen him take one alright, good shout

Cant take any credit of Gabby is right, I would have never thought of him really.
