Micah Richards shows how not to take penalties at Old Trafford

Micah Richards made quite a memorable appearance on Monday night. During a penalty shoot-out at Old Trafford, the former Manchester City star showed us how not to take penalties. The event was part of Sky's A League of Their Own program, where Richards and Jamie Redknapp faced off in a spot-kick challenge.

Decked out in his City kit, Richards received some cheeky chants from fans in the stands, playfully calling him a "s**t Gary Neville." He even poked fun at the situation by revealing an undershirt with the message "Why always Meeks?" - a nod to Mario Balotelli's iconic celebration from the 6-1 win against Man United in 2011.

The ex-England right-back even busted out the slow and annoying Paul Pogba run-up. But Richards did not show any sort of composure from 12 yards and missed all three of his spot-kicks. One hit the post and bounce back, while the two other were easy saves for the goalkeeper in between the sticks.

Richards got chants of "What the f**king hell was that?" and to make matters worse, he had to pull on a United shirt as a forfeit for losing. That same punishment was dished out a couple of months back when he and Jill Scott lost a quiz to Roy Keane and Neville on a special episode of The Overlap.
