KICKS FROM THE PENALTY MARK

Not being totally convinced by Pogba's recent antics at the penalty mark, I have little sympathy for him, the lad who should have taken it or the manager of their side. All that should have been decided in the dressing room before the game and if it was then Pogba needs fining or made to run a long cross-country. So boo to him. Here's one pen he succeeded in!

The penalty kick in Association Football was accredited to William McCrum (some references say McGann) who played for Milford Everton, later known as Armagh City FC. He was a goalkeeper who persuaded the Irish FA to propose a law concerning penalties to the International FA Board (IFAB).

The idea of penalising players inside the area was originally turned down because recognising a serious infringement of the laws within 12 yards of the goal admitted "ungentlemanly conduct", which just didn't happen because every footballer was a gentleman.
Indeed the Corinthians would stand aside if an infringement of that kind occurred in one of their games, they didn't believe such misconduct would be possible. So they would let the penalty be taken into an empty goal or purposely miss one given to them!

The penalty spot appeared in 1902, previously the kick could be taken anywhere along a parallel line 12 yards from the goal line.
The D was introduced in 1937 on the introduced 18 yard line, to keep all players 10 yards from the pen spot which by this time was central-still 12 yards away.

In 1891 Notts County were beating Stoke 1-0 in the final throes of an FA Quarter-final Cup tie. Hendry of Notts County fisted the ball away with his goalkeeper beaten. The maximum punishment was an indirect free-kick and Stoke failed to take advantage of a kick inside the penalty area (probably even closer!). County won and reached the Cup Final. Laws had to change!

Goalkeepers of course are allowed to take penalties and the appropriately named Ernie Scattergood  of Derby County, scored three out of three in 1913-14 and then took them for Bradford Park Avenue in 1921-2 until South Shields keeper Willis Walker saved one.
Which South of England footballer (not a gk) won 8 England caps and converted 47 out of 48 pens? Le Le La La!
and here's the pk history in Scotland.

This is Willie Foulke, a huge man and goalie, who wore a red shirt when playing for Bradford Park Avenue against Accrington Stanley in 1905-6. Stanley of course wear red.
Because of the clash a local turned up with a white sheet for him to wrap around his massive body. Foulke never had to dive during the match and therefore "kept a clean sheet". Foulke's team won 1-0 .
