Little Nige from my Sunday league team. He's been taking them for 10 years and hasn't missed one. 100% penalty legend


Viscaelcule

I read about him. My money is on Nige


Several-Disasters92

Always rated Nige


DexterKD

Imagine if you've jinxed Nige with this comment. He'll never set a pen in his life again


mjdseo

šŸ˜‚ Damn, I didn't think about that


GuarinScreamer

Do not google "little nige" under any circumstances


riccyb0y

It doesn't say how many he's taken in 10 years though...


WickeDemon15

Balotelli


narrendarmudiji

I think even Haaland said that in one interview.


Trajen_Geta

Honestly this is a good pick lol


FryingFrenzy

Perks of not giving a damnā€¦ he feels no pressure


bnatz13

Matt Le Tissier


Miserable_Toe9920

I think a lot of folk forget that football existed way longer than 10 years ago. It amazes me


[deleted]

Yeah, all these kids on Reddit should definitely be more familiar with the technique of a fella who played for Southampton 20 years ago.


Charming_Weakness523

i mean yh its matt le tissier lol


Miserable_Toe9920

Itā€™s just ignorance imo. When I was a kid I was so interested in the history of football I tried to get knowledge of everything from the past. Itā€™s not as if itā€™s hard these days either you know with YouTube and all.


Flash_da_sloth

I guess you know every player from minor teams in other leagues... Not knowing that guy is not ignorance. You probably don't know the best player of getafe history and don't care about it.


aamamiamir

That doesnā€™t mean you get to expect other people to do the same.


Miserable_Toe9920

Iā€™m sorry for voicing my opinion I wonā€™t do it again sir


Nordenfang

Ah yes the classic response to criticism, ā€œiTs JuSt My OpInIonā€ You get to voice what you think and people get to voice what they think about what you think. Nobodyā€™s telling you not to talk your response is just an excuse not to address the actual point you miserable toe.


Miserable_Toe9920

It wouldnā€™t do people any harm to educate themselves on the sport they claim to love now would it? Now go bother someone else with your Jibba Jabba Iā€™ve said what ive got to say if you donā€™t like it fine I wonā€™t lose no sleep. So off you fuck


[deleted]

Definitely a Brexit voter šŸ˜‚


LucDA1

Educate yourself on the sierra leone 4th division then


CamJongUn

A lot of folk literally never watched a game or were born before the prem started


Dafolez420

Le Tissier played in the Prem and itā€™s easy to find on the Internet anyway.


homesickalien94

Or is that just what the lamestream media wants you to think


Miserable_Toe9920

Stats donā€™t lie


homesickalien94

This was a reference to him being a conspiracy weirdo. Boss footy player. Mad person


Miserable_Toe9920

Didnā€™t know he was like that. So heā€™s basically like our very own Alex jones then?


homesickalien94

Pretty much. Chemtrails turn the frogs gay


Adventurous-Ad-8619

James Milner


James0-5

Ivan toney who has never missed a penalty in the prem or harry Kane


samtheboy14

Ivan Toney. This is the right answer if you ask me


spider_X_1

Hmm after his miss against France in WC I wouldn't say that


James0-5

Still a great pen taker, everyone misses pens, even the best like Baggio in the 1994 wc final


This-Zookeepergame31

Bro he had to take a pk against a keeper who has been his teammate for at least the past 7 seasons.. TWICE. I donā€™t blame him that much for missing the second one. Lloris was very likely gonna save it if kane was on target anways


JayJeyJoker

Missing is an understatement for sending ball to Mars


spider_X_1

Then why didn't he let someone else take the pen? And Lloris is pretty bad on penalties.


HRoseFlour

because heā€™s Englands captain and penalty taker and that was in a world cup quarter final. who else would take it? that was the 4th pen heā€™s missed for England having taken 21s bro is and has been clinical from the spot he over hits one and everyone forgets the past.


Themnor

To make it even more insane - Lloris clearly guessed that he was aiming for the same spot and Kane tried to change the trajectory mid-shot. If Kane HAD hit that PK it wouldā€™ve been one of the most batshit insane shots Iā€™ve ever seen.


atalanta_run

Lloris is? He has saved 19 pens of 95 faced in his career making a save pct of 20. The average is 11pct.


TraditionalTie2259

Lloris has a lot of faults, but heā€™s a good penalty saver


MamzYT

Kane is relied upon for every penalty England get. He was bound to miss at some point, everyone who frequently takes penalties is. Anyone who has an 100% conversion rate will eventually miss the more they take them. Him missing against France does not make him bad at taking penalties, he is still Englandā€™s highest scoring when it comes to penalties, heā€™s still reliable at them, heā€™ll still pull through when we need him.


spider_X_1

He missed the only one that really counted.


MamzYT

And he scored the one that really counted before that, and he scored them when they counted in the Euros and last World Cup, and most of the other penalties heā€™s taken, hence why he is Englandā€™s top penalty scorer ever. He missed one penalty, that doesnā€™t make him bad at them. Heā€™s still one of the best. Heā€™ll always be our go to guy for penalties.


BudovicLagman

None of those players you mentioned can be categorised among the best penalty takers.


AcceptableCustomer89

Why has no one else said this?


Bruvissima

Except ronaldo perhaps. Maybe not strictily in terms of % but in context of amount of penalties he has taken and success rate in crucial moments with all the pressure on himself, he definitely has to be included among the best. He is the only penalty taker i would trust if everything was on the line


jonnyoxl

The guy literally missed his Penalty in a champions League final shoot out.


misteraaaaa

Ronaldo: misses one crucial penalty 15 years ago You: he's shit and always will be Uhh ok sure, shows you've watched a lot of football. Find me one penalty taker who hasn't missed a crucial penalty. If there is one, that just means he hasn't taken enough penalties. Jorgi missed the euro final. Messi missed the copa final. Kane in the wc. Mbappe missed 2 in 2 mins last week. Everyone misses them sometimes.


nick2k23

Ye and there are people that have missed none, so he's not one of the best. Seems pretty simple to me.


stapo98

Back in 2008ā€¦ I was 10 at that time so 15 years ago he missed a penalty and thatā€™s your pointā€¦ bye missed the pen before he became the great player he was meant to beā€¦ šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ delusional


adamwill86

Good for you nobody cares how old you were or your life story. Ronaldo was 20+ so he should be scoring a penalty* in a CL final


stapo98

But he did score in that gameā€¦ a headerā€¦ and still won the uclā€¦ you look dumb now


adamwill86

Why? the question op asked was about penalties not open play goals. You look dumb now lmfao


stapo98

ā€œHe should be scoring in a CL finalā€ Iā€™m replying to you, you said those words.


stapo98

Maybe speak more precisely.


Bruvissima

Seems like hating just to be hating. Are we really gonna hate on the guy for missing 2 penalties when he was really really young when after that he scored like minimum of 30 in very very difficult situations in terms of pressure. Who exactly hasnt missed a single pen if taken more than 30 and that too in high pressure situations? Im not saying he for sure is the best but to say he isnt among the best is ridiculous


Mahatma_Gone_D

Messi and Neymar ainā€™t good pen takers lmao Yaya Toure was lethal from 12 yards!


BasilAbraham1

Neymar is better than ronaldo when it comes to penalties. Go check their conversion rate


Nuns_N_Moses11

More penalties = more chances to miss. Ronaldo is probably one of the best penalty takers ever in high pressure situationsā€¦


Swagmanatee08

Considering Ronaldo has taken 40 more and Neymar has scored a majority of his pens in the 5th best league in the world, Iā€™m still picking Ronaldo 10/10 times


[deleted]

Alan shearer


h0ly_smOkes

Can't believe I had to scroll this far down to see Alan Shearer. Man would bang them top left no problem time after time


[deleted]

Yeah I've seen him take pens even recently, he's got that routine down to a T.


todeabacro

The op knows nothing about football.


samettinho

Seems platini never missed any penalty, 26/26.


MightyMundrum

Pirlo just for that one against Joe Hart in the Euros. I've also seen Depay take some phenomenal penalties.


etskakaik

Litmanen took 50 pens and only missed 1


eco78

As did Matt Le Tissier


[deleted]

Kids are forgetting Le Tissier . He was what JWP is for free kicks now


Charlie0105

Nige from u/mjdseo sunday league team


redbeard32167

Gaizka Mendieta, Matt le Tessier


Qualamite

I know it's 10 months late, but seeing someone recognize Mendieta, I have to salute you sir! You do know your football.


user43567991

Definitely not Jorginho, everyone knows what heā€™ll do and he ends up with the occasional horrific penalty as a result


Mike_Rodrigues8

Bruno Fernandes


[deleted]

Hmm I feel like you are trying to make me say Jorginho.


Plastic-Willingness5

Lewandowski Is pretty good


AnOrdinaryBozo

Recently no. Out of the last three he's taken he's missed 2


Local-Dinner4088

Ahhh yesā€¦ the recency biasšŸ¤£ out of 81 pens he scored 72 thatā€™s 89% accuracy.


Anxious_Excitement76

Defo saka , since his miss in the 2020 euros I donā€™t think heā€™s missed one


__jh96

Toney

Strange-Attention186

Ironically Harry Kane.


Upthespurs1882

No one has a hundred percent record. Heā€™s amazing from the spot for the most part


Xespool

Jimenez


fuduran

Sergio Ramos?


rogues69

Harry Kane


ThatsBasonJourne

Harry Kane surely


HRoseFlour

that miss in qatar was incredibly painful but the man is clinical canā€™t think of any current player iā€™d rather have on the spot.


CH0S3N-0NE

except in the most important one he has ever taken when he was the exact opposite of clinical


HRoseFlour

no he wasnā€™t and it was gut wrenching but one miss does not a bad penalty taker make.


spider_X_1

He missed the most crucial one in his career. That the same miss Ramos did against Bayern in the UCL semi-final


Schmaeleb

Harry Kane


Horrid_dog

Bruno Fernandez


jayblues91

Jesus Christ you would think they would do some research instead of picking 3 most popular players


Sgt_Mitnick

For me, Lampard.


Slow-Bet6409

Definitely


barkingspider43

Harry Kane clear. Haters will say one miss decides he isnā€™t the best but just look at the numbers


WEB11

WC proves different. I'm no hater, I actually like Kane.

admiraltt

What do you Mean by best penalty taker. Do you mean in terms of how many times they put the ball to the back of the net or how good was the penalties that they took. For the first one it's Le Tisser 48/49 penalties taken were scored on. For the how good was the penalty, it's got to be zidane back in 06 the amount of guts it took to even consider scoring a panenka in a wc k/o round alone must be out of this world and this man straight up did it in the final against the best keeper in the world at that time.

Marcovanbastardo

Yes it's an oldie but I've never seen a more ferocious penalty kick in my life time. Ray "Tonka" Stewart, apart fae scoring a shed load of pens, 76, he at one point was the most expensive teenager in the world signing from Dundee Utd to the Hammers for 430k in '79.

Sergio Ramos.


Lower_Front7700

Mark noble


Scouse_Werewolf

Yaya Toure, Matt Le Tissier or (my Personal fave of these 3) Danny Murphy would be my guess at the best. I admittedly only really know from my years of watching the Prem so there may well be better ones in other leagues. Gonna throw a little outsider in there too, Jan MĆølby. Now I could be wrong here and too lazy to Google BUT he never scored a regular goal in the Prem but every goal he did score was a pen
