Rickie Lambert should be England's No 1 penalty taker at the World Cup, insists spot-kick king Matt Le Tissier Matt Le Tissier believes Rickie Lambert should take England's first penalty if they face a shootout at the World Cup in Brazil Leighton Baines, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Adam Lallana also make Le Tissier's list The former Southampton man only missed one penalty from 49 attempts in his career Matt Le Tissier names his five England penalty-takers for a potential World Cup shoot-out with the same authority as he once despatched his own spot-kicks. ‘No 1, Rickie Lambert,’ says the Southampton legend, whose record of 47 successful penalties from 48 attempts qualify him as an expert. On the spot: Rickie Lambert has never missed a penalty during his time at Southampton Expert: Former Southampton star Matt Le Tissier, pictured here celebrating scoring a penalty against Newcastle, only missed one of 49 penalties in his career ‘Steven has scored a lot of penalties this season, so he’ll be confident. Deadly: Everton's Leighton Baines, pictured here scoring a spot-kick against Manchester United, is a candidate to take England's penalties in Brazil Mixed record: Chelsea's Frank Lampard has missed a number of penalties in recent years It might have been different had Le Tissier played in the Euro 96 semi-finals or 1998 World Cup tie against Argentina, but he only won eight caps and none in a World Cup or European Championship.
