[Rob]

Rhino took the penaltys because our strikers were crap

that and he never missed!! :biggrin:

 

[monty]

Utd using the long throw, Teta clears in the right back position

 

[monty]

Best penalty taker we ever had was Roy Vernon, best bar none

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Sixth place on goal difference at the moment lads.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Looks as though best we can hope for is a draw now... all them.

 

[Rob]

how do they compare monts? have you got any numbers on success rates?

I don't recall rhino missing.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Reading just scored.

Arsenal 2-1 Reading.

Fabregas OG. Awful game for him.

 

[Welton Toffee]

Didn't Rhino only miss one, and he stuck in the rebound?

 

[monty]

I don't recall rhino missing.

Style calmness, grace with which he placed it, crowd sizes, so many imponderables Rob but if it meant my life on it I pick Royston everytime. rhino has missed them for Utd

 

[Rob]

Didn't Rhino only miss one, and he stuck in the rebound?

I don't know for sure, but I can't remember him ever missing and he played in the dark years as well.

If there was a vote for best ever Everton penalty taker my vote would go to Rhino, so dependable.

 

[Rob]

has anyone got any numbers on vernons and unsworths penaltys?

 

[monty]

I feel as though we are dropping back too deep, the farting has started and should reach a crescendo in 6 mins

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

You youngsters are all a like Roy Vernon was a legend bar none in the penalties category. LIsten to Uncle Monty

 

[Rob]

He was the top scorer with 24 goals and captain when Everton won the championship in the 1962-63 season. His striking partner who scored 23 goals in that championship year was 'the golden vision' Alex Young.

Vernon was a lean player with an aquiline nose, a powerful left foot shot, great skill and a coolness when taking his chances. Brian Labone said of him: "Taffy Vernon was about 10 stone. Wet through he looked about as athletic as Pinocchio." Apart from his success in open play, Roy Vernon was probably the finest and most successful penalty-taker ever to play for Everton. He made 199 appearances for Everton scoring 110 goals.
