da roleta: Aaron Ramsey’s unfortunate own goal to open the scoring for Liverpool last weekend was just one of many embarrassing incidents that have befallen footballers at the wrong end of the pitch. Most own goals are horribly comical with everyone including the offending player wondering what had just happened but luckily for fans of the game, most of these gems eventually end up on the internet for our entertainment.
One search of the player’s name normally brings up the own goal straight away, especially for the lower league stars who find that their unfortunate own goals end up being the one moment everyone remembers from their career. Ramsey found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time against Liverpool but was the young midfielder’s own goal the most unfortunate in history?
10. John Arne Riise
This own goal may not have been as spectacular as others but Riise’s decision to head the ball into his own net rather than clear it away was made worse because he made the mistake in the 95th minute of a Champions League semi-final against Chelsea.

9. Tony Popovic
Crystal Palace defender showed the skill of a world class striker in this goal, catching the ball with the back of his heel and lifting it past the keeper. Unfortunately for Popovic and Palace this came at the wrong end of the pitch.
8. Gary Neville
An own goal that I can just about manage to laugh at now as Neville puts past his own keeper for England in a crucial game against Croatia. At first it looked like goalkeeper Paul Robinson had horribly misjudged the back pass until you look closer and see that a small bump in the pitch was to blame.

7. Carl Jenkinson
Another recent Arsenal blunder saw new signing Jenkinson get his clearance so wrong as the ball flies into the air and perfectly over the head of the goalkeeper. It was an unfortunate mistake from a young defender looking to make his mark at his new club.

6. Djimi Traore
Former Liverpool defender Traore showed off his secret skills that the Reds’ rarely saw, unfortunately Traore attempted this elaborate trick standing in front of his own goal and it unsurprisingly backfired on the defender.
5. Lee Dixon
Playing the ball back to your keeper is always a slight risk but Dixon gave his goalkeeper no chance when he beautifully lifted it over his head and into the goal.

4. Aaron Ramsey
Arsenal midfielder Ramsey was the unfortunate culprit when he was caught out by Miquel’s clearance, the ball smacking back against Ramsey and into the net from close range.

3. Mike Elwood
A goal that looked as painful as it did unfortunate, Elwood was caught in the line of the clearance and the huge deflection completely changed the direction of the ball as it dropped perfectly over the head of the keeper.

2. Jamie Pollock
One of the more famous own goals as Manchester City’s Jamie Pollock beats one player with a delicate chip and finishes off the move by heading past his own keeper. If the unique piece of defending had come off it would have looked amazing but unfortunately for Pollock this goal is famous for all the wrong reasons.
1. Chris Brass
Unfortunately for Bury’s Chris Brass no other own goal comes close to this blunder. Looking to clear the ball Brass’ own head gets in the way as he thumps the ball against his face and past his own keeper.
