(Incidentally, who remembers the 'Penalty Prize' competition that ran on 'On the Ball' back in the 1970s?) As Booted Eagle quoted from the West Ham match thread: Since Crystal Palace were promoted in 2013-14, they have taken the most - 47 -and scored the most - 38 - Premier League penalties. I invite reminiscences about some of those penalties, particularly about the 9 that we've missed. I'll start the ball rolling by ticking Tekkers v Bournemouth off the list, as enough has probably been posted about that already!

In a game against Brighton in the late eighties we were awarded four penalties and missed three of them!

Unlike you (Willo and YT) I wasn't actually at that Brighton game, but a pal told me that one of our penalties cleared the crossbar by such a margin that the ball went high into the old Holmesdale terrace before returning to earth. I'd love that to be true, but I suspect it's a huge exaggeration. Any comment?

Yes he did. I was at that game too! It was March 1976 in the third division, attended by 48,000 (as I recall) at Selhurst Park. It was part of the run of disappointing league results that ended with us missing out on promotion, in stark contrast to our excellent FA cup run. CORRECTION! I just noted my own typo...it was 38,000 not 48,000. (38,075 in fact). Still pretty impressive for a third tier match, and a cracking - if 'volatile' - atmosphere. Edited by YT (13 Oct 2019 6.33pm)

He had a habit of hitting the ball with the outside of his boot and got that one spectacularly wrong. Apart from that he was an exciting player.
