Dean Saunders took a good penalty, especially in March 1994.

He also missed a couple.

Allan Evans, Sid, Stan and Barry were all pretty reliable.

I know Deano scored 8 out of 8 in his first two seasons with us, not sure about after that though.

Ray Graydon used to tease the keeper by bouncing it off him and smacking in the rebound.

Platty was pretty reilable too.

Another vote for Alan 'Psycho' Evans, whose technique was just to side foot it into the corner.
Willie Anderson also didn't miss many, from memory he used to smack it a bit higher.
Yorkie was just plain cheeky.

Barry was pretty good.  Another vote for the Yorkie pen vs Seaman

As for worst - Kevin Richardson was like Jonny Wilkinson

I remember Yorke missing 2 in one game (away at Derby) in the cup, and still scoring a hat-trick.

Teale has to be the stand out penalty taker for me, nerves of steel and a shot to match.
