Three Penalty Barnes

On this day (7 December) in 1957 Ken Barnes (pictured here with Don Revie and Johnny Williamson) became only the third person to successfully convert three penalties in a Division One/top flight game, as Manchester City defeated Everton 6-2.  Albert Dunlop, who later became a City scout working for Barnes, was the Everton ‘keeper that day and Barnes remembers facing Dunlop for each attempt: “I stuck one to the left, one to the right and he was so confused by the time the third award arrived that I could have back-heeled it in!”
