I heard somewhere that Nacho Novo had never missed a penalty in professional football. Is This true? How many has he taken and how many has he scored?
Thanks.

He has missed at least one penalty for the huns so whoever said he hasn't was talking as much nonsense as Sally McCoist was last week.

A quick search for "Novo missed penalty" on Google gave this:

When he was at Dens he was asked if he'd ever missed one and he said no (although Nacho was known to tell a lie or two), he didn't miss one for us though and to the best of my knowledge he's only missed one and it was in the game in the BBC report that Craig points out.
Cheers thanks for clearing that up.

Not to worry, I am sure Nacho Novo goes about telling everyone he hasn't ever missed a penalty. In a few years he'll no doubt tell tales of how he was an integral part of the Spanish National team.
Sally McCoist isn't just teaching him how to put the ball in the back of the net you know.

Every striker should be able to score a penalty IMO

I'm sure the little runt missed a pen when he played for the Rovers. I could be wrong though because I can't remember who it was against.

Did he not miss a penalty against Celtic a couple of seasons ago?
