Jimmy McIlroy missed his 32nd min. penalty against
Hopkinson. It hit the post before rebounding into the net off the
goalkeepers head.. |
Hopkinson wiped four years of the
record when he faced McIlroy's penalty, to become the youngest to
face a kick, previously held by Ted Sagar for 21 years.
Hopkinson still holds the record.
