The former Liverpool captain and club legend was once trusted to deal with penalty kicks. He had a good conversion rate and never shirked away from responsibility.

Whenever he featured for the Reds, it was clear that the Liverpool fans had the faith in him to deliver, and he shouldered the responsibility immensely.

Frank Lampard currently holds the record as the second best penalty taker in Premier League history, as the Chelsea fans always felt safe in the knowledge that their number eight would score when they saw the ref point to the spot.

During his time at Chelsea, he used to be one of the most regular penalty takers in the league. The 43 netted penalties have played a huge role in him becoming the Blues’ all-time leading goalscorer.

The man who owns the majority of Premier League goalscoring records, Alan Shearer also holds the record for most successful penalty kicks.  Shearer smashed 54 successful penalty kicks across a 14-year top flight career with Southampton, Blackburn and Newcastle.

His spot kick record looks safe for any modern day forward in the Premier League, and his 260 Premier League goals looks almost unreachable as well.
