Own Goals By OpponentThis is a list of the players who scored Own Goals for us. It's made even more interesting by the fact that most of our own goal scorers are defenders, so didn't score too many goals at the other end. For instance
Bob McKinlay scored 10 Forest goals and 4 own goals, while
Joe McDonald is only on the score sheet for 3 own goals.
But the record here ought go to poor
Des Walker. His famous solitary goal on
New Year's day in 1992 is in contrast to the 4 own goals he scored. One was in the
1991 FA Cup Final (we lost 2-1), another was in the
2003 playoff game to Sheffield United (we lost 5-4 on aggregate), another was in the
League Cup loss to Portsmouth in 2003 and then there was one in the
League game at Crystal Palace on Jan 8, 1992 - just 7 days after scoring his only goal for us.
Here's the list of all Forest players who scored an own goal, ordered by the players who scored most.
