forgot about Stephen O'Neill. The penalty he put past Cluxton in the replayed game of '05 was simply unsaveable. Was in the upper tier of the Canal end just behind the goals and cluko never even moved.

Dara Ó Cinnéide very rarely missed. Can't ever remember him missing one to be honest in a Kerry shirt. Redmond was also pretty good. McConville was usually clinical but for one but that didn't matter in the end (unfortunately!!)

Has to be the Laois Goalie Fergal Byron, dont have a recollection of him ever missing one for Laois in a championship match, credit has to be given to someone who can slot a penalty away haven run the length of the field (being jostled on the way up by opposition player - notably the Dubs..) and still bury it. He gets my vote

Redmond pretty good ? Only ever seen him convert one penalty-(Kildare '94). The man was an amazing free taker but the same couldn't be said about his penalty taking.
