Gary Lineker

So you've got to be very accurate.

There's a little bit of pressure.

Right, that's where I'm... There's a little bit of pressure.

I remember I was England penalty taker in Mexico 86, but we didn't get a penalty in Mexico 86.

And I was still the penalty taker in Italia 90.

And in those four years...

we'd never got a penalty for England.

So I was the penalty taker in Italia 90, and my first ever penalty that I took for England was in the quarterfinals against Cameroon, and we're 2-1 down with eight minutes to go.

So I think... And it's funny, you know, I didn't really feel...

I'd practiced and practiced and practiced and practiced the penalty that I wanted to hit in the game.

And because I'd practiced so frequently, I was pretty confident and I hit it in exactly the spot that I wanted to.

And it was a goal.

And then something mad happened.

We got another one in extra time.

And this time I'm thinking...

I haven't thought about doing it.

I'd never contemplated.

I hadn't had one for four years.

And then all of a sudden I'm thinking, well, the keeper moved really early on that one, so he'd probably do the same again.

And I didn't know which way he'd go.
