While Daniel Timofte has a key place in Irish history as the Romanian player who missed the crucial penalty against us 25 years ago today at Italia 90, he is a cult hero at Turkish club Samsunspor.

The 47-year-old spent six years at the club between 1993 and 1999, and proving that context is everything, confidently hammered in this spot kick during his time there.

Fortunately, he went for the other side against the Boys In Green, allowing Packie Bonner to save and setting up David O'Leary to write his name in the history books and let a nation exhale.
