agree Mihailolja : The first and best chipped penalty, the legendary Panenka in the EC final 1976 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp2HZNheCZ8

Yes, most probably one of the first. Thank you, Mihailolja.

Yes, from underneath and definitely with less than maximum force. Thanks for your comment and references, Gallagy.

Kermogant's missed chip penalty

so, this is what a good one looks like

this is the one by Kermorgant which wasn't strong enough or high enough to go OVER keeper. Called the £90m missed penalty as that's what Leicester had paid for him
and here's a song about this match and penalty written by a disgusted and disappointed fan which becme popular on YouTube. Poor Kermorgant! This penalty will never be forgotten now:-(
