I always liked Traore's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7fdJWap2ks&search=own goal traore Maily cos it was Liverpool.

Just found this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnqzdFs0dFA&search=own goal

It's near the end.

Traores is pretty spectacular, still give my mate here at work a ribbing over it as he is a die-hard Liverpool supporter.

To be sung to the tune of Blame it on the Boogie:

Don't Blame it on the Sami
Don't Blame it on the Finnan
Don't Blame it on the Haman
Blame it on Traore...

He just can't, he just can't, he just can't control his feet...

I still cringe every time he sets foot on the pitch! :eek:

Well sorry if its a re-post. Post #216 is a lot to go through !

Didn't Neville Southall throw the ball into his own net once? OR was it Peter Shilton?

Gary Sprake (Leeds) did that in the 70's

LMAO, that's excalent

SoliD · 26 Apr 2006 at 22:03

Heard about that chris brass one from a friend, didnt see it until then absolutely hilarious

Traores is quality as he takes it round his own keeper straight into the net probably the best thing he has done all season tbh

The one I'm thinking about happened in the nineties.

Why you shouldn't score an own goal for Colombia:

Are you thinking of Mark Crossley (Forest) when they lost 6 or 7-0 (I think) at Blackburn? He did something daft like rolling over with the ball and dropping it in his own net

Lead_Head · 28 Apr 2006 at 11:55

Yeah Crossley once dived to save a shot and rolled over losing control of the ball and it rolled in to the net. Very embarrasing.

The Chris Brass one is hilarious, I *think* he broke his nose in the process as well. Theres one on youtube that's funny, it's a long range shot that balloons in to the sky and the keeper thinks it's going to hit the bar, but it lands on top of his head and in to the goal, knocking the keeper to the floor. If that's one of the links above I apologise, but I'm at work and can't view the clips

Yep Crossley is the culprit. Cheers because that was going to really annoy me.

SexyGreyFox · 29 Apr 2006 at 13:55

I'll go for Gary Sprake in the 70's because I was there and couldn't understand why he'd done it.

HangTime · 29 Apr 2006 at 14:15

Eddie Youds, anyone? His OGs were even worse than Lee Dixon's.

I also remember David O'Leary chipping his own goalie from 30 yards, think it was a FA Cup match in the early 90s.

Don't remeber that. Lee Dixon did though.

Jamie Pollock scored a screamer too

FPMSL @ the first post

That's brilliant!

Hlebio · 29 Apr 2006 at 15:00

Anyone seen Frank Queudrue's back for his old team?

Runs at the ball and from about 30 yards unexplainably whacks the ball and lobs his own keeper..

EDIT

Found it

Arsenal fans remember Lauren's in our unbeaten season against Man City? Long ball is played over the top, Lauren looks comfortable with slight pressure on him but he takes a bad touch and suddenly finds himself running towards goal with a man on. He takes it further still until he is about 15 yards out before superbly placing it in to the bottom right, Lehmann didn't move.
