After seeing Brightons very enjoyable humilaiation yesterday I wondered what are all youir favourite own goal moments. One of mine is Arsenals Lauren netting again Man City. Classic!
Gary Neville own goal for England where the ball bobbled over Robinson's foot. I know it was England but it was so funny and Gary Neville is a twat
Franck Queudrue's will always hold a place in my heart. [video=youtube;-Gkm-DOfYcU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gkm-DOfYcU[/video]
And let's not forget Chris Brass... [video=youtube;Ds0wEBKuxv8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds0wEBKuxv8[/video]
Research required for this one, but my personal favourite was a Wolves game in Europe back in 1971 when the same player scored 3 own goals. The slap given to Derek Dougan when the Wolves player tried to congratulate him on his first was also a bit of a classic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jBlMc3nOns
How about the fateful own goal our striker scored in the play-offs against Derby... Lee Dixon chipping Seaman was pretty good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpSo1aciPqU
The video of the game highlights are on youtube somewhere, but can't be arsed to find them. John Arne Rise against us around 2002 was a beaut.
Arrggh this is frustrating me. There was a tubby midfielder I *think* for Coventry that scored a belter about 6 or 7 years ago. I know I'm not giving you much to go on here.....but anyone?
Benali in mid ninties think it was againts everton? Bessant was in goal the cross comes in and benali diving headders the ball into the top corner would have been a great goal if up the other end!!
Cant remember who was playing. Think it might of been Derby v someone. A corner came in or a cross, and defender smashed a vertical clearance so high in the air it took about 5 seconds for it to come back down. Once it did everybody missed it and just bounced into the roof of the net. I can't find it on youtube so unless I dreamed it!?!?
Leon Best for me......still hurts. Try that a million times & it would never go in again. The bugger.
Noel Whealan? Sliced a volley from the edge of his own area straight into the top corner. If this is right then I want to thank you, as I have always said this is the best OG I've seen but nobody else has ever remembered/seen it so I thought I had just imagined it!
