Everyone finished with the pride of a true craftsman.
Spot on PR, spot on.
More remarkable for the fact he's not been our regular penalty taker either. In fact his penalty record is quite odd. As far as I can tell, here is our penalty record since Colin joined (we seem to get a hell of a lot when Col's not there)
2004-05
Asa scored took and scored penalties whilst Col was on the pitch against Worksop (h), Barrow (h), Ashton (h), Ashton away in the Nationwide North shield game, Vauxhall (a) in the CSC. He also scored one iin the CSC final against Crewe that Colin did not play in.
Col took and scored 3 penalties, hucknall home and away (Asa wasn't playing) and one at home in the Trophy v Grays shortly after Asa had been subbed.
2005-06
Colin scored pens home to Crawley and away at Canvey Island.
He missed one in the trophy at Accy.
Steve Aspinall scored penalties (whilst Colin was on the pitch) away at Kiddy and Scarboro.
2006-07
Steve Apinall took penalties (whilst Colin was on the pitch) at home to Stevenage (scored), in fact Colin had actually scored our second but it was ruled out cos the ref had given a pen, home to St Albans (missed/saved) and away to Gravesend (scored)
Asa scored penalties in 2 games Colin missed through injury - away at Cambridge and Oxford
and also one in the home win against Northwich, however Col had been sent off an hour earlier!
Col had a penalty saved at home to Cambridge but scored the rebound
2007-08
Jake Sedgemore scored at Salisbury whilst Col was sat on the bench.
A week later Col came off the ebnch to score against Ebbsfleet even though Sedge was on the pitch.
Colin missed the game at Torquay when Warren Peyton scored a pen.
Col scored at home to Halifax
2008-09
Joe O'Neill scored a pen away at Salisbury after Colin had been substituted.

THE STATS
So all told in the past 3 and a bit seasons we've been awarded 26 penalties
- we've had 19 penalties while Col was on the pitch.
- He's taken 9, scored 7 and had 2 saved, 1 that he's got the rebound 77% success rate.
- The other players have taken 10 scored 9 and 1 saved (90% success rate).
- When Col has been subbed/sent off/sat on his arse/injured we've had 7 penalties (all scored 100% success rate)
- So Cols missed out on 10 penalties that he could have taken, given a 77% success rate that would be a further 7.7 goals i.e. 8 more.
- Had he been available for the other 7 (he's been unavailble for over a qurter of our pens) his success ratio would have earned him 5.39 i.e. 6 more goals
SO COL'S RECORD COULD CONCEIVABLY BE 108 GOALS IN 197 GAMES!
If you want to be really silly about it, we've had 17 pens that's he not taken, 117 goals in 202 starts was a possibilty.
- Yeh, yeh, okay I know, I know, but it is half term and I've got time to kill this week. And it is interesting that he's managed to miss out on a number of goals, we've played 228 games all told since Col joined. he's started 197 and 8/9 sub appearances, another 20 games could easily have yielded another 8 goal even without the penalty taking. I though he looked really sharp in the Halifax game the other season when we won 1-0 but Adam Quiinn's disgraceful challenge put him out for 9 games and to be fair, includd with his sendiing off v Vics (never a sending off) it took him til March to really get back in the swing of things.
