Though Gary Neville's backpass led to this bizarre goal, it was former Tottenham Hotspur and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson who should take the blame for this. It was a brutal blow to Robinson's career who was England's No.1 till then. But this mistake mentally devasted him, and he never seemed to recover completely from it.
#7 Chris Brass vs. Darlington (2006)
One of the freakiest own goals you will ever see on a football pitch. Chris tried to clear the ball over his head while on loan at Bury in 2006; instead, it cannoned into his face and ricocheted into his own next. He almost broke his nose in the process, which made it a painful experience in more ways than one for Brass.

About the author
Suman Dey
A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
