In honour of Estonian midfielder Rahn's spectacular Own Goal against England on Saturday, we've compiled our favourite 10 of all time.
1. Lee Dixon, Arsenal
Well, I suppose it was becoming quite easy to lob Seamen.
2. Chris Brass, Bury
To add insult to injury, he broke his nose in the process. (Should that be injury to insult?)
3. Anderson, Atromitos Athens
One hell of a 1st-time chip.
4. Djimi Traore, Liverpool
It's best to leave those pirouettes to Zidane and Kaka. Probably even better not to practise them on your own goal line.
5. Ian Walker, Leicester
An all-time classic.
6. Liu Zhenli, Qingdao
A more recent OG, absolutely hilarious. What was he thinking?
7. Minami Yuta, Kashiwa Reysol
Yet unbelievably stupid. How is it even possible to throw the ball into your own net?
8. Rafael Van Der Vaart, Hamburg
Not technically an own goal, but almost. VDV passes back to his 'keeper, but then realises that he's not there! Hilarity ensues.
9. Alan Smith, Leeds
It's hard not to laugh at this.
10. Franck Queudrue, Lens
Before joining Middlesbrough, Franckie enjoyed doing this sort of thing:
And if that hasn't satisfied your need for stupidity, here's a compilation of further gaffes infront of goal courtesy of the football lover's friend, YouTube.
