2) David Beckham
The England and United midfielder makes his second appearance on this list after a remarkably similar effort to his aforementioned missed spot kick against Portugal back in 2004.
On this occasion, against Turkey in a crucial Euro 2004 qualifier in Istanbul, the wide man once again slipped up just as he was about to make contact with the ball, with his resultant effort flying high over the bar.
However, luckily for the Three Lions skipper his mistake did not cost his country, with Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side still making it through to that summer’s European championship finals in Portugal after the qualifier ended in a goalless stalemate.
