What happened next in my book shouldn't have happened.
Ian McKinney, our goalkeeper, went up to take the kick.
I still maintain that Ian McKechnie was the right choice.
He had a sweet left foot and he had the guts to do it and I'd have put money on him to score.
Please not him.
I couldn't believe it.
My mum couldn't believe it.
Even Alex Stepney, the Man United keeper, couldn't believe it and actually asked him what he was doing up there.
I had my head in my hands.
Big Ian, he braced himself, he ran up, blasted it against the upper side of the crossbar and unfortunately, Hull City were out.
As Chris Waddle said when he missed for England in 1990, just six inches away from being the perfect penalty.
Over the years, the rules have remained remarkably resilient.
Five kicks each and then sudden death.
It's the fairest way to settle a game.
And as a moment of sheer drama, they can't be beaten.
Football is called the beautiful game, although often it's quite dull.
But penalties supercharge a match, 11 metres out and only the keeper to beat.
Perhaps it even captures the essence of the game, how easy it is, and at the same time, how hard it is.
Anyone can score, and most do.
76% in fact, but 24% miss.
