..We can all quote trophies, all know stats about our own clubs..But what is the best football fact you know? Mine is... The record for the most own goals in a match is held by a club from Madagascar, Stade Olympique lâEmryne. Their own goal fest was a mark of protest against a refereeing decision from the week previously. They were winning the match 2-1 when the referee awarded a very dubious penalty. Immediately after the penalty was scored, the referee blew for full time. (Was Howard of Salford in charge?)This defeat meant Stade were out of the running for the championship. There very next match was against the newly crowned champions, Ademas. Directly, from each kick off Stade would turn tail and score an own goal. They did this 149 times in the same match, or a goal approximatly every 35 seconds. Can you see that happening over here?
bet they had a tidy goal difference, mine would be that since january 2010 alberto aqualani has had the same amount of assists as gareth bale
