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.
