Own goals

[dml1954]

Best one that I have ever seen - easy, Jason Bowen at Ninian Park in late 90’s, early 2000’s. Curled it into his own net beautifully from about 30 yards, with a back pass from the bob bank touchline. Goalie had come forward to the edge of the box calling for it. Dribbled over the line into the far corner with the goalie desperately trying to scramble back. Cant remember who it was against unfortunately.

Good grief, something I agree with you on, it was a thing of beauty.

Mark Walton was the goalkeeper - very much a Made in Merthyr cock up.

Yes. I was right behind it. Seemed to be in slow motion but he bent it expertly round the goalie who was flapping like a windmill as it went in, chasing it. Its not very often you see a 30 yard own goal.
