After Jason Puncheons shameful (but entertaining) attempt to put Crystal Palace ahead at White Hart Lane a couple of weeks ago and perhaps the worst penalty shoot-out in English cup history midweek between Manchester United and Sunderland, it seems an appropriate time to collate some of the worst ever penalty misses from around the world. If you thought Puncheon's was bad, you should see some of these attempts!
