Own Goals and Gaffes

[Swindon-Town-FC.co.uk]

As it's been a complete cock-up of a season, I thought over the summer I may put together our very own "Own Goals and Gaffes" video, in the same style as the "Best Goals Ever" clips I've put on YouTube.

So.... as the own goals are pretty easy to find, I need help in putting together a list of the other balls-ups in STFC matches over the years, both by Town players and the opposition - goalkeeper howlers, defensive errors, missed open goals and the like - the start of my list is below.... do any of you have any additions to the list?

Thomas Dossevi, repeatedly, all 2010/11 season.

Too obvious?

[melksham_exile]

the Alan Reeves own goal against Peterborough United, in the same game that a certain Mr Invincible scored a worldy to keep us up..............queue pitch invasion!!!!!

[Costanza]

I'd stick Kevin Amankwaah's cruelly disallowed own goal against Millwall in. What a finish, clinical.

[JanAageisGod]

I can remember a full length diving header og by David Holdsworth to our benefit when he was at Sheff Utd - 01/02/97 - it's full length in my mind anyway.

[Lumps]

There must be 2 or 3 open goals missed by JAF in the early part of the Prem season, including the incident when he managed to prevent an otherwise certain goal by Scott (I think) by somehow getting something on it on the line.

[Summerof69]

I can remember a game at home to Huddersfield a couple of seasons ago when Coxy had a penalty saved at the Stratton Bank end. The keeper booted it forward, and it should've been a simple header by Amankwaah to clear it. He totally missed it and the oncoming Huddersfield forward smacked it in to the back of the net.

Goal 12 Town vs Ipswich at the CG 89/90 Mick Stockwell (Ipswich) with a classic og.

[Rodney]

Kevin Horlock own goal away to Luton in 1993 or 1994.  The relegation season under Gorman then McMahon.  We lost 3-0 and it was a superb own goal.

Can't believe it - Chalkie would never have missed a sitter.

[LucienSanchez]

Richard Dryden's own goal off his arse on debut at the Town End...

[blinkpip]

Amanakwaah og against Peterbrough this season.

[Dr Pierre Chang]

Tom Heaton at home to Port Vale 05/06.

[blinkpip]

What about Williams is it, a Town youngster decided to do some fancy stuff in our goal area against Ipswich live on TV.

I like the way you refuse to afford capital letters in your list to the filthy franchise.  Nice touch.
