List of the best penalties ever taken

From ARFOPEDIA

• Stuart Pearce np

• 1982 - Johan Cruyff passes to Jesper Olson instead of shooting, receives the return pass, and puts the ball into the empty net.

• The arrogantly-chipped one scored by Paolo di Canio

• Phil Babb blasts into the top left hand corner v Crystal Palace, May 2004. Howdens couldn't bear to watch though and stood with his back turned.

• Darren Carter smugly makes up for 2 playoff penalty debacles by overshadowing welsh-speaking iwan roberts' equaliser and sending birmingham into premiership midtable obscurity.

• Robbie Keane scores a last minute penalty v Spain to secure the greatest moral victory known to man. Ireland still partying in the aftermath of that game.

• Antonin Panenka, 1976, in Yugoslavia, for the Czechoslovaks, against the West Germans. Nuff sed.

• Cameroon v Ivory Coast, African Nations Cup qf 2006. 22 in a row. Smug.

• Zinedine Zidane, France v Italy, Fifa World Cup Final 2006 - hit the bar twice, never touched any part of the net and still fucking went in, what a hero. Bettered only by his legendary violent conduct in extra time.
