'The worst penalty you've ever seen': Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards hilariously opens up on channelling his inner 'Big Meeks' before lashing his ONLY ever spot-kick over the bar in a pre-season defeat by Olympiakos in 2014

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has labelled his only-ever spot kick as 'the worst penalty you've ever seen'.

The right back, and Sportsmail columnist, stepped up to the spot in an eventual shoot-out defeat to Greek side Olympiakos in America in the International Champions Cup back in 2014, after the match ended 2-2.

Richards decided to channel his inner Chris Waddle, and sprinted up to the ball before lashing it into orbit from 12-yards.
