Thommo must have scored around 35-40, only remember him missing a couple, in the aforementioned shoutout v Sheff Wed, and against Blues away (made the mistake of sitting in the home end for that game with my dad, ran the gauntlet a little.

Missed one at home to Stoke in 1993 too

He got 45 goals for us in all competitions, I think you're right, at least 35 must have been pens surely

 

[Alan]

SEB was very efficient over a long period (only missed one, away at Cov) but not sure why keepers didn't just stand there against him.

Psychological innit. You look more like a mug if you stand still, or so I read once upon a time.

There can't be many (any?) Who have scored more pens for us?

But you know he's smashing it down the middle Like, always. Think he only changed from that once for us.

And while he hit it hard, it wasn't unsaveable like the Julian Dicks ones.

But imagine the embarrassment if he did go to the side!

Hibbitt maybe rivals him? Was here for absolutely ages and I think on pens for nearly all the time (although I'm going off videos here - I obviously wasn't around to see it first hand).

According to Transfrmarkt Kenny only scored 14 penalties!

 

[Lycan]

Raúl obviously missed an important one but he was genuinely one of the best penalty takers in the world never mind at Wolves.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I only ever saw Bully take one and he missed (Sheff Wed at home in the cup in 1990).

If he had been able to take them to even a reasonable standard he'd have easily gone past 350 goals for us.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Here it is.

Involving the worst ever rebound attempt from Andy Mutch! Which I'd forgotten all about.

 

[Lupo]

Rather nice though that he scored over 300 and it wasn't inflated with penalties

Shirtliff bringing him down no less, a bit divey from Bully there too?

Also, was that the silky skills of Gary Bellamy in the build up to the penalty?

It's outfield Paul Jones!

Fuck off

Fuck off

I would not lie to you

It genuinely is though. Number 12 and we only made one sub...

I've genuinely wiped all knowledge of out field Paul Jones from my brain. Clearly saw him play but do not recall him whatsoever.

Turner once had to use his programme notes (back in the days when nearly everyone bought one) to ask fans not to boo him

He was rancid, genuinely offensively poor. So I had a double take earlier when I watched that and saw him playing *some* football.

 

[Tony Towner]

He had a perm after it was acceptable

My Grandad used to get me the "Molinews" monthly VHS tapes we put out.

One had about 10 minutes of following Outfield Paul Jones around while he played snooker in the world's dingiest club. Great output.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

He only took one (that I know of) but that Pressman penalty is still my favourite ever.

Two, possibly three keepers, wouldn’t have stopped it. Definitely the best I’ve ever seen.
