#3 Scott Dann (5 own goals)

Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace - Premier League

The former England U-21 international has played for the likes of Blackburn, Birmingham and current club Crystal Palace whom he has also captained for two seasons until getting replaced by Jason Puncheon, who now wears the armband. A solid centre-half whose reputation was at its peak in the midst of the Alan Pardew stint at Crystal Palace, Dann has been solid at most times in his career even though he was never spectacular.

Dann has faced the ignominy of having put the ball past his goalkeeper five times in his career in the top flight. Not particularly known for being too error-prone, Dann has compensated at the other end by scoring off quite a few goals and generally being a nuisance in the opposition half when called upon.

Still, considering his own goal record is equal to Shawcross having played quite a few games fewer, Dann could add to his tally before he calls it a day.
