8 Hugely Embarrassing Penalty Kick Misses

3. Harry Kewell (2013)

Remember him? The ex-Liverpool man, now 35, returned to his homeland of Australia in 2011, joining Melbourne Victory, before signing for Melbourne Heart last year. And that€™s where this horrific, yet hugely entertaining penalty attempt occurred.

The heat down under must be pretty off-putting when preparing to take a spot kick. That€™s the only excuse I can find for Kewell, who was responsible for a truly awful penalty miss in a match against Sydney last year. The Australian managed to completely miss kick the ball, sending it bouncing off the ground and harmlessly wide of the left post, and by some distance.
