    Sunderland are in the Champions League final and in the 90th minute we are awarded a penalty.

    Pick any player in the world and from the past you would wish to take that penalty.

    My choice without a shadow of a doubt - Dennis Irwin.

    I know it's a dream but we can dream eh?

    Fat Matt Le Tissier - as long as Mark Crossley is not in goal for the opposition!

    Jim Baxter - He used to tell the keeper where he was going to put it and still scored. Only one he ever missed was in the States way back when they had the crossbar at 7ft 6ins and he put it just over.

    I saw him miss one at Leyton Orient - possibly the only one ever?

    He almost cost me a kicking .... I was in the Mag seats when he scored a penalty during the 4-1 win at SJP.

    I was out of my seat before I knew what was happening <doh>

    The guy who played for Burnley and Preston I think. Took all the penalties and had a ridiculous success rate.

    Good shout with Dennis Irwin mate, he was a beast on pens.

    For me it would be Eric Cantona.

    Rickie Lambert's got 30-odd in a row never missed one, think I heard that on Motd last year, still wouldn't give him the ball though in the OP's scenario.

    He did have a knack for scoring big goals last year.
    That's the one.

    I'd also consider kenwyne Jones. His shots always left his boot at a different angle to the one he lined up so should outfox the keeper. But then again just as likely hit yhr corner flag.

    Moneybags Bent was v good from the spot. Maybe we could ask Sheerah, just for a laugh.
