27 penalties before a miss

[Mr Angry]

Noticed this from last night...

Dagenham & Redbridge beat Leyton Orient in a JPT games last night; the game had finished 1-1 and there was no extra time, so straight to penalties.

The first 27 penalities taken were all scored, before Orient missed with their 14th. Both keepers had scored, and the missed penalty was taken by Orient's regular penalty taker.

I remember that - such a weird atmosphere, most footy matches were called off but ours went ahead. TBH 2 hours of football was just the light relief that was needed that evening. Especially after the Mrs gave me an ear bashing for going - she was a day overdue with our first!
