Left back penalty takers

I need a list of three or four penalty takers who were left footed full backs. Mark Reid sprang to mind - have we had many others? Be good if I could keep it Charlton rather than go down the Stuart Pearce route.

Johnnie Jackson at one point?0

Non Charlton but Leighton Baines1

Mark Bowen3

It feels quite rare now that penalties are taken by anyone other than strikers and attacking midfielders. The days of a Stuart Pearce or Julian Dicks (another left back) blasting them in seem long gone.
I can't think of any Charlton defender after Reid who was our regular penalty taker.1 -
Colin Walsh2

I have a feeling that Phil Warman took a penalty many years ago. Could be wrong and if he did, can't remember if he scored!
Apart from that, I hope that is helpful!2 -
Bob Curtis but he was a right back IIRC1
-
Ray Stewart at West Ham?1

I don't think anyone is going to pull me up on it, so I will add him to my list. I'll throw Johnnie Jackson in as well. And Bowen scored in the 98 shoot-out so he will do too.

He was right footed and would absolutely smash the ball tooHal1x said:Ray Stewart at West Ham?0 - Sponsored links:

Mike Flanagan and Paul Mortimer were both left footed and although not the "regular" penalty taker, did both take them at some point for us0
-
Keith Peacock did too for that matter0
-
Julian Dicks
Ray Stewart1 -
David Alaba (Austria, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid).
Marcos Alonso (Spain, Chelsea, Barcelona). (100% record taking penalties). (Only took one though).
Lucas Digne (France, Everton, Aston Villa). (Identical record to Marocs Alonso).0 -
Phil Warman never took one. Tommy Caton and Morts especially are probably the nearest to the other left backs mentioned above to take at least one and score.0

Did Konchesky ever take a pen? Remember him being on free kicks0

I'm pretty sure that he didn'tMarcusH26 said:Did Konchesky ever take a pen? Remember him being on free kicks1 -
He did. 21 September 2013, a 72nd minute equaliser for Leicester, away at Blackpool, given for a foul on Danny Drinkwater.Addick Addict said:

Naby Sarr only took one i think...in the play offs.0

Apart from the fact that he never scored one for Charlton (one assumes that the original post was about someone who took at least one successful penalty) and there was no Charlton game on 21 May 2002, that's totally factually correct!Chizz said:

the best pen taken by a left back was Michael Gray in '9823

As has been mentioned above, Mark Reid is the obvious one.
Colin Walsh too, I think ... and Andy Reid.

Some golden memories in that link.
Regarding other suggestions above ... Bob Curtis was very definitely a right-back and was right-footed. And Tommy Caton was a central defender and I don't recall him taking penalties or being left-footed.
I'll also guess that, if Phil Warman took a penalty, it would probably end up in our net. He wasn't called 'Warman (OG)' for nothing.0 -
Phil Warman missed one at Rotherham in the 1980-1 run-in, don't think he was asked again. Koncheskys effort at Upton Park rivalled Lawrie Maddens for being a risk to satellites.4

I remember Caton taking a few pens, but not sure if he was left or right footed.Dave Rudd said:As has been mentioned above, Mark Reid is the obvious one.
