17/01/96 v Chelsea (h) 2-2 - lost on pens FA Cup 3rd Round Replay
We never prepared for penalties it was just down to whoever fancied taking one on the night. Keegan went round all of us asking who would take one. David Batty refused, saying he didn't take penalties - he didn't like them. I've got to admit I was surprised as he was a great striker of the ball. Imagine how I felt (and KK probably) a couple of years later when he went up to take a penalty against Argentina in the World Cup semi-final. I nearly fell off my chair...!!
