Top 10 EPIC OWN GOALS in Football History

Top 10 most epic own goals

Number 10.: Jürgen sierens K.S.V. Roeselare agains Anderlecht.
Some well-known Belgian pundits have labelled Jurgen Sierens as an 'absolute muppet' for his own goal against Anderlecht which consequently had him released which led to depression for Sierens.

Number 9. and number 8.:
TWO own goals by Kakha Kaladze, who plays for AC Milan, in the World Cup qualifier game between Georgia and Italy.

Number 7.: Franck Queudrue Bastia - Lens
Franck Queudrue chose to take his ire out on the ball; 40 yards out and facing the far touchline, the Lens defender swings his left leg and balloons a clearance miles into the sky, only to snap-hook the ball and send it arcing over the keeper and into the net.

Number 6.: Jamie Pollock Manchester City - QPR
Pollock’s is probably the most famous own goal in English football history, and with good reason too. After flicking the ball over a Manchester City team-mate and Queens Park Rangers striker, the defender demonstrated superb composure to cushion a perfectly-weighted header over Martyn Margetson and into the open net behind him. Worst of all, the goal essentially made sure of City’s relegation to the third tier, while simultaneously keeping QPR up.

Number 5.: Ashraf Soliman

On first viewing it is a calm and composed finish. Ashraf Soliman controls the ball on the edge of the six-yard-box before looking up, picking his spot and poking into the corner.

Unfortunately for the Maccabi Umm al-Fahm player, it just happens to be into his own goal, which to rub salt into the wound was an 89th minute equaliser for Hapoel Afulu in an Israeli cup tie.

Number 4.: Pavol Durica DVSC - Fehérvár

n early 2008 he joined the Hungarian team FC Fehérvár, where he played only four games, but during this short period he scored a remarkable own goal against Debreceni VSC in the Hungarian Cup quarter final on 27 March 2008. The match was heading towards extra time, when Debrecen was awarded a penalty in the last minute, which was saved by the goalkeeper of FC Fehérvár, but the ball bounced back to the penalty spot and the arriving Ďurica, desperately wanting to clear to the stands, hammered it into his own goal clipping the post.

Number 3.: Tony Popovic Chrystal Palace - Portsmouth

Popovic’s glorious effort against Portsmouth is arguably the most aesthetically pleasing own goal on this list. The Crystal Palace centre-back met Steve Stone’s cross with a lovely right-footed flick, which clipped the far post and hit the back of the net before Julian Speroni could clamber across his goal.

Number 2.: Festus Baise

Even after multiple viewings it is difficult to decipher Baise’s intentions. The cross from Hong Kong FC’s Jack Sealy was underhit and unlikely to find a team-mate, but Baise had clearly calculated that a simple header away would not suffice. The Sun Hei centre-back instead opted for an extraordinary scorpion kick and could only watch in despair as the ball flew into the far corner.

Number 1.: Chris Brass Bury - Darlington

There's nothing worse in football than scoring an own goal, with the notable exception of scoring an own goal by booting the ball into your own face and breaking your nose in the process. That’s exactly what happened to poor Chris Brass in Bury’s clash with Darlington in 2006, the ball cannoning into the defender’s hooter after a botched overhead clearance.
