Re: Outstanding own goals.
I can't find it on YouTube, but if there's a better one than Willie Donachie's in 1978 while playing for Scotland v Wales in a World Cup match I've yet to see it. A header from 25 yards out if I recall it accurately.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Tricky winger Jamie Pollock in Worthington-esque form for Citeh.
May the bridges I burn light your way
Re: Outstanding own goals.
It's all about that Jamie Pollock one.
Am also a big fan of this effort from Vincent Kompany:
And this from Tony Popovic:

Re: Outstanding own goals.
Surely we must mention (current Sounder . . . ugh) Djimi Traore.
Re: Outstanding own goals.
Tony Kelly once lobbed a back pass over Branagan at the Great Lever End. Again can't find it on youtube.

Re: Outstanding own goals.
Two for the oldies!
A balding centre-half by the name of Ron Atkinson (subsequently famous for large identity bracelets and casual racism) knocking a 25-yard back pass all along the ground and into the corner of his own net whilst playing for Oxford United in the year dot. Embankment - I was in the Burnden Paddock.
Also who could forget Graham Wilkins (brother of Ray) showing his unique talent by banging a laughable effort past Chelsea's keeper in the 1970's? Great Lever End - and I was in the Burnden Paddock again.

Re: Outstanding own goals.
Chelsea scored two own goals that day. David Hay scored the other with a peach of a header as I recall. The match was televised but I can't find any footage.Zulus Thousand of em wrote: Also who could forget Graham Wilkins (brother of Ray) showing his unique talent by banging a laughable effort past Chelsea's keeper in the 1970's?

You only use the bit after the "=" sign in the youtube URL. and put "youtube /youtube" tags around it.
I was looking for this one - but would never have found it as I was looking for Zat Knight, against Blackburn/Wigan for some reason...

Re: Outstanding own goals.
Graham Wilkin's career ended early due to a badly broken leg. Had it not he was Shirley well in the frame for the World record holder for OG's.Bruce Rioja wrote:Chelsea scored two own goals that day.

He used to score four or five a season.
