#1 Phil Jagielka (6 own goals)

Manchester United v Everton - Premier League
Jagielka has been a loyal servant for Everton

The Everton captain is a stalwart for his club and is well-liked by managers and fans. Despite criticism from some sections claiming that Jagielka isn't a very vocal leader, four successive managers have named him captain.

A positive influence in the dressing room with a lot of experience on the field, it is easy to see why Jagielka is so popular at Everton. Capped 40 times by his country in an era where his peak arguably overlapped with the presence of the John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Jamie Carragher, Jagielka managed to hold his own ground as a great central defender for Everton and England.

His legs are gone and it looks like his spell at Everton is winding down, but he could get a chance at another club if not Everton. The defender has scored six own goals over the course of his seasons at Everton and Sheffield United and Everton captain will hope that he will never have to pick the ball from his own net off his body again.
