LONDON , England ( CNN ) -- Scotland striker Chris Iwelumo marked his international debut on Saturday by missing an open goal in the 0-0 draw against Norway . Iwelumo made his debut appearance for his national side , but missed a two-yard tap-in . Despite the easy nature of the chance , Iwelumo is by no means the first player to fail to score in such simple circumstances on British soil ... For this 11-a-side we have compiled 10 other heart-stopping gaffes to prove to the unfortunate Scot that he 's not alone in his misery . How many of these other shocking misses do you remember ? 1 ) Ronny Rosenthal : LIVERPOOL v Aston Villa 1992 . With the score tied at 0-0 the Israeli striker rounded the goalkeeper and , faced with the goal at his mercy , somehow contrived to smack his shot against the crossbar . Liverpool went on to lose the match 4-2 . 2 ) Ryan Giggs : MANCHESTER UNITED v Arsenal 2003 . Giggs had scored one of the FA Cup 's great goals when taking on the whole of the Arsenal defense in their semifinal at Villa Park in 1999 . However , four years later , the Welsh winger managed to balloon his shot over the crossbar after a mistake had allowed him a clear run on goal . Arsenal went on to win 2-0 on their way to lifting the trophy . 3 ) Robert Pires/Thierry Henry : ARSENAL v Manchester City 2005 . Arsenal were 1-0 ahead , courtesy of an earlier Pires penalty , when they were handed another opportunity from the spot and instead of simply taking the second penalty , Pires attempted to roll the ball to French team-mate Henry . However , he scuffed the pass and conceded a free-kick in the process , much to the disgust of his opponents who accused Pires of lacking respect . Certainly the oddest penalty the Premier League has ever seen . 4 ) Kanu : WEST BROMWICH ALBION v Middlesbrough 2004 . With Albion trailing 2-1 , and the clock on 90 minutes , the Nigerian striker managed to lob the ball over the bar from just one yard out -- something his manager Bryan Robson said at the time was 'almost impossible ' . 5 ) Freddie Ljungberg : ARSENAL v Bolton 2005 . Swedish midfielder Ljungberg had already given Arsenal the lead in this FA Cup quarterfinal but , with Bolton steaming forward for an equalizer , he then astonishingly scooped the ball over the crossbar from two yards out with the goal gaping . The miss mattered little as Arsenal went on to beat Manchester United in the final -- and have not won anything since . 6 ) Gordon Smith : BRIGHTON v Manchester United 1983 . Smith will empathize with Iwelumo more than most . Smith is currently the chief executive of the Scottish Football Association , but during his playing career he was responsible for one of the most famous misses in FA Cup final history . With the score level at 2-2 in injury time , Smith was put clean through to give minnows Brighton the chance to make history . The commentator famous screamed : `` And Smith must score.. '' He did n't ... and United won the replay 4-0 . 7 ) Gareth Southgate : ENGLAND v Germany 1996 . This Euro '96 semifinal at Wembley had finished 1-1 and each side had scored their first five penalties . Defender Southgate , not a regular penalty taker was next in line and his weak effort was hit straight at German keeper Koepke . Andreas Moeller then converted for Germany , who went on to win the competition . 8 ) Cristiano Ronaldo : MANCHESTER UNITED v Sheffield United 2006 . Just to show even the greatest fluff their lines . With Man United 2-1 ahead at Bramall Lane and cruising to the three points , a piece of Wayne Rooney magic on the right wing presented Ronaldo with an open goal just three yards out . However , the Portuguese wizard casually sliced his shot high over the bar . The visitors had the last laugh by winning the Premier League title , while the Blades ended up being relegated in very controversial circumstances . 9 ) Peter Van Vossen : RANGERS v Celtic 1996 . So bad was this miss , that even now a howler in front of goal is known in Scotland as 'doing a Van Vossen ' . Rangers were 1-0 up at Parkhead when the Dutch striker , with the goal gaping and the keeper nowhere , contrived to shoot over the bar . Despite the howler , Rangers went on to claim their ninth Scottish title in a row at the end of the season . 10 ) Geoff Horsfield : BIRMINGHAM v Manchester City 2003 . With Birmingham losing 1-0 going into injury time , Horsfield is played through , goes around goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel but then comically mis-kicks and falls over with the goal at his mercy . The defeat left Birmingham in deep relegation trouble although they managed to avoid the drop that season . Do n't agree with our list ? Have we missed one out ?
