Yeah I worded that wrong, but I seem to remember the actual reveal game was against NUFC.
Hated some of his cockups for England (was a waste of space at Euro04) but the guy's a legend.
I can remember trying to count them before. I've got 8:
Everton H 99, Soton H 2000, Sunderland H 2000, Ipswich H 2002, Fulham H 2002, Partizan H 2003, Villa H 2003, Wolves H 2004
edit: 9 + Fulham A 2001
Am I missing any?
Shearer seemed to always take the first pen in shootouts. Think he did so vs Partizan on that awful night too (which is the one you're probably thinking of Icarus). Never missed for England in a shootout.
More than happy to have Lampard take them. Nothing can be more traumatic than events that happened when Beckham was the designated taker.
I heard the same thing off Terry McDermott about a year ago. Said Keegan would take the job back in an instant if it was under different ownership.
There would always be a new, different issue soon enough.
