The goalkeepers who were also specialist penalty takers

G oalkeepers entrusted with the task of taking attacking set pieces are rare, but down the years there have been a number of exponents of this craft.

Some more flamboyant than others and we take a look at them here, following Marko Dmitrovic's induction into this club with his penalty against Atletico Madrid on Thursday night.

Jose Luis Chilavert

The former Paraguay goalkeeper is the highest scoring stopper in football history, scoring 45 penalty goals throughout his career, and he also dabbled with freekicks too.

Nacho Gonzalez

Las Palmas' goalkeeper scored six goals from the penalty spot and holds the LaLiga Santander record.

Rogerio Ceni

The Brazilian is another of the stoppers who scored the most in football history and he remains one of the most emblematic players in Brazilian domestic football history.

Hans-Jorg Butt

Another goalkeeper who took both penalties and freekicks for Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, Butt scored 26 Bundesliga penalties in his career.

Dimitar Ivankov

The Bulgarian scored 43 penalties, all for Bursaspor.

Rene Higuita

The man who brought us the infamous scorpion-save, Higuita was also a competent penalty taker, as he displayed 37 times in his career. He also scored a further four goals away from the spot.
