Funniest own goal you've seen

After looking at the Brass own goal as recommended by confguide and thinking about mad-dog's bullet header on saturday that gave England's number one no chance and was reminiscent of his superb equalizer Vs Darlo that had even Mark lawrenson impressed...

What's the funniest own goal you've seen?

I remember one at Bath I think when the Bath player chased a slow moving ball to his own goal and seemed to hesitate before slicing the ball inexcplicably into his own net. That in itself wasn't too hilarious but Andy Green's impromptu goal celebration impression by placing the ball on the line..looking left and right before doing a great gallic shrug and tapping the ball in appealled to my take the pi$$ SOH.

Alty v Welling around 95/96. Tight game with us one up then a cross comes in. Then a fantastic diving header on the edge of the area by a Welling defender into the top right hand corner. Keeper had no chance!

Magnificent.

Wayne Hattswells own goal was hilarious and usually makes any bloopers DVD. Cant remember who is playing for at the time, but he swings his foot to make a clearance and slices it into the roof of his own net.

I seem to remember Kolo Toure (I think it was) did something similar in Arsenal match.

I also remember seeing a friend of mine playing in goal in a 5-a-side, missing a simple catch and instead pushing the ball into his own net!!!

I can't believe this all time classic (Dean Walling I think)has been overlooked at The "Earth Stadium" (ahem) back in 99.

Got to be Steve Hardwick for us v Scarborough in the league home game 76-7. Only because I met him about 5 years later in that London where it appeared he'd been bigging it up about his great non league career (I played for Alty y'know) - his v glam French girlfriend was not vimpressed with him after a wee bit of the Hendo magic .. "va va sac de merde.."

Steve Hardwick

April 27 2006, 11:13 AM 

A candidate for worst Alty centre half (on a criterion of having played more than 20 games). And the Scarbro game was the week before the trophy semi final - and the first of five games against the Yorkshiremen in 3 weeks or so! Marshall, Harry Dunn, Harry A Dunn, Woodall ...the names stick in the mind nearly 30 years later.

Trumped indeed!

Kenyon beats Hardwick for sure - but imagine the pair of them in the heart of the defence with Nicky Banner or Peter Frankish behind them
