Lionel Messi or AP McCoy, which would you prefer standing over a penalty for your team?

Judging by the Argentine's history from the spot and McCoy's accuracy on Soccer AM this week, you'd have to go for the latter. Messi needs a teammate running round behind him in order to convert penalties but McCoy doesn't mess about with shenanigans like that. The 20-time Champion Jockey took part in an accuracy challenge on Saturday morning in which he was tasked to dink a ball into a wheelie bin perched in the top left corner of a goal. The only thing better than the lofted strike from McCoy is the jubilant celebrations. No goalkeeper is saving this.
