Good job Wilkinson scored that late winner!

I think we all thought that at the time as well

Damian is one of the best 3 strikers in this league if you judge by goals scored. If you argue that those above him in the goals scored table both play for the big budget clubs and get fed more chances, then Damian is the best striker in this league.
I would not want to be seen to be overly critical here, but Ballers is right - the best striker in the league should be able to take the odd penalty now and then.

Out of interest does someone want to tell the forum how many of Akinde, Parkin and Rendell's goals were scored direct from spot kicks

[ManagementGuru]

Akinde has scored 3 penalties against us alone!!

Exactly. And anyone who saw the shoot-out debacle in the pre-season friendly at Hyde knows full well we'd still be in Conference North but for that goal.

Not much help for current penalty perplexities I realize, but I'm old enough to remember when we had TWO superb penalty takers in the team - Graham Heathcote and John Davison.  I honestly can scarcely remember either of them missing a single one.  JD in particular seemed infallible.  Is my memory playing tricks?

[ManagementGuru]

I remember a NWFL game against Witton at MossLane where Heathcote missed one and Davison scored one

It's the only miss of Heathcotes that I recall. 77-8 season

[Cheadle Hulme Alty]

I think I recall the great Jackie Swindells missing two penalties in the same game against Runcorn on a Friday evening at Canal Street back in the late 60's! It could be my memory playing tricks but does seem to be etched in my mind.

I remember seeing Graham Heathcote miss a penalty and, almost inevitably, it occurred against Dave Ryan in a game against Vics at The Drill Field (not during that infamous penalty shoot-out in the APL Cup Final).

I think that he only missed two penalties during his time with Alty.

One of the many reasons that moment was so good - we went from almost certain defeat to certain victory without going through the usual intermediate 'draw' stage

[Ballers]

What was our penalty record 4 seasons ago? I remember Densmore doing quote well?

According to club website (league matches only) -
2013/4 scored 5 missed 0; 2012/3 6-10; 2011/2 8-2; 2010/1 5-3; 2009/10 6-3
Can't find any stats for 2008/9
2007/8 scored 4; 2006/7 scored 5 missed 3
Hope that helps.
