Which do you think was the most embarrassing? Ever accidentally do this to your team when playing a sport?

94 world Cup. Andrés Escobar's own goal cost his life.Should be at number 1.

How can you not have Jim Marshall on here? That was the most legendary own goal moments in history!!!

[Stjurgeon]

Most tragic would have to go to Andrés Escobar.

6:53 - "The Tottenham Hotspurs"

[EVERYWHERE_MAN]

Is this what they call a *BRUH* moment

[dangeiger]

Do you consider Jim Marshall running the wrong way for a safety as an own goal?

[MrLeo]

"Jim Marshall is running the wrong way!" For old school NFL fans 🏈

I would have added two own goals/scores.
1: Mike Smith's "butt goal" when he was goaltending for the Coyotes. The puck landed in his pants and he backed into the net.
2: Jim Marshall's "Wrong Way Run". Marshall recovered a fumble and accidentally scored a safety against his own team when he thought he scored a touchdown. I know it's not an own goal by the traditional definition, but I still think it is worthy of this list.

What about Jim Marshall of the 1964 Minnesota Vikings? Recovered a fumble and ran to the wrong end zone, scoring 2 points for the other team.

I was at the game with Escobar's own goal. I turned to my friend and said, "I wouldn't go back to Colombia if I was him." Surprised that wasn't on the list.

[Eclipton]

You forgot Jim Marshall of the Minnesota Vikings.

[OmarTafur]

What about Andrés Escobar? He was literally murdered because of that

[andig]

I am missing one here - Tomislav Piblica (Energie Cottbus 2002) 😅👍🏼

My son had his first own goal today and was devastated, I’m glad I could show him this video to see it happen to professionals too!

[natethegreat]

What kind of title is "players that scored on them selves", Its called an "own goal"

I cant remember that infamous American football play where the dude grabs the ball out of a fumble and runs it back for a safety. Did American football not count?

[whitemambaxe]

What about Jim Marshall running the wrong way??

Y'all can make a part 2 out of this
