    w/e, He's taken more and missed less than Kane.

    Kane 39 pens scored 33
    Noble 40 pens scored 36

    James Beattie and Sir Richard of Lambertshire weren't too shabby either, we were pretty spoiled for penalty takers.

    Ah ****, just seen that Libs beat me too it...<doh>

    If game depended on a penalty to be scored then I would pick Le Tiss - he was also good at free kicks as well.
    One of the most underrated midfielders ever, had sublime skills, could score wonder goals out of nowhere.
    48/49 is near perfection.

    He's been penalty taker for most of the 16 seasons he's played for us.
    2 of those misses came early in his career, so he's only missed 2 this decade.

    nothing to do with hate, both Le Tiss & Noble have taken more and have a higher success percentage. As only Noble is the only one still playing the trophy is his.

    If he'd put in some effort he would've been one of the best players in the world, but he couldn't be arsed. He could get away with it at Southampton, but managers at a higher level needed players to put in a shift, something that seemed anathema to Le Tiss.
    TBH, with his attitude I don't think he'd make the premier these days, he'd be another Ravel Morrison.

    Morrison is a bit different though as he just preferred the gangster lifestyle.
