Buyens - Charlton's best ever penalty taker?

Although he did miss one or two in his career weirdly enough I would still have staked an important body part on Reidy* scoring if I had to choose.

*The Scottish one not the fat one that is.

Likewise. When he took one, it never crossed my mind that he might miss.

Mendonca missed just one ......... in the 0-0 League Cup match against, if memory serves me right, Bournemouth.

Missed one against QPR too I think. Excellent penalty taker though.

Always thought Paul Mortimer took a good penalty.

Michael Gray was our best penalty taker. ;-)

Buyens has just scored his 7th pen out of 7. I can't recall such a consistently good penalty taker in all my years of supporting Charlton.

He just never looks like missing.

mark reid dont remember him missing any

I remember during the 70's we had a spell when we missed about 5 pens on trot, and then when we got one against Watford (i think), some joker in the old covered end shouted that Dave Shipperley should head it.

Not old enough to remember Bob Curtis, so I would have to say, in order, Mark Reid, Super Clive, Buyens, D Bent.

also mention must go to Killer. I'm sure he must have taken them but I cant recall any at this moment in time.

Reid had 3 pens at home to Palace. It was the game we were given the moving to SE25 leaflet. He missed one.
