Nobody wants to be the one that misses.
The first penalty taker for Manchester United was George Best.
Blimey, I thought.
It's George Best, one of the greatest players ever, who's going to take the first penalty in the world's first penalty shootout.
Naturally enough, George Best stood up, took the penalty, scored.
Next, Terry Neal.
He walked from the centre circle into the 18-yard box, scored.
Remember, I was only 11 at the time and each kick was agony.
Then Bobby Charlton and Brian Kidd scored for United and Ian Butler and Ken Houghton for Hull.
3-3.
It was still anybody's game and the noise was deafening.
And then, would you believe it, Ian McKechnie saved from Dennis Law.
Forever and ever, Law will go down as the first man to miss in a penalty shootout, and McKechnie, he will go down as the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in a penalty shootout.
Next up it was Ken Wagstaff, my hero.
And I knew we were going to win.
He was going to score and we were going to beat Manchester United.
And then how could he do that?
He missed.
The next penalty taker was Willy Mogan.
He scored for United and now it was sudden death.
