I’ve just read that only 5 players have scored more penalties for North End than DJ.
I’m suggesting:-
Grezza
Gally
Finney.
Who else?

Garner probably got a few as well.
Remember Gary Parkinsons winning penalty at Maine Road. Unstoppable.Gary Parkinson?

I'm not sure about Sir Tom, did they have many penalties back then?
Worst one being when MK dons had Alex Ravell in net after their goalie got sent offI remember Garner's technique well and he did miss a few by getting it wrong.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ledson was catching up just off of shootouts alone!

Last season for instance we didn't miss any of the unusual number we got (mainly before Christmas) although Gallys at home to Luton was on the rebound so technically a miss but still resulted in a goal.Jimmy Baxter scored a lot of penalties for North End but given that he left in 1959 I'm not sure how many people here will have seen him score one. In more recent times Callum Davidson is easily overlooked an an excellent penalty taker with 13 scored in the League. He might possibly have missed one (against Sheffield United?) but I think the rebound was scored although he may have had a 100% success rate. I would agree that in the past 20 years or so North End have had some excellent penalty takers and our overall conversion rate in that time must be one of the best on the League, probably around 90%.
Perhaps George Mutch from the 30's and 40's.I would guess Sir Tom would be there. Since him I might guess at Alex Dawson and Graham Alexander. But perhaps we had a penalty king way back in the 1920s or 30s. Brian Godfrey could take a penalty under pressure.
