Players with a negative goals total

[programmechap]

With Soumare going, he joins the elite club of players whose goal total for United is negative- that is they scored more own goals then proper goals. He never scored for United but gave us that comedy OG against Norwich in December.

Other players I can think of who never scored at the right end but scored OGs

Brian Smith
Andy Barnsley
Phil Thompson
Roger Nilsen

There must be more. And who is the top "negative" goalscorer. Any on more than -1 Revolution Revolution Silent Blade ?

Others:

John Pemberton
Steve Simonsen
Rob Ullathorne (I think)

Everyone I can think of with more than one own goal has some credit too (eg Brian Gayle)

I was at Blackburn when we equalised from a corner that it looked like Soumare had put in but the defender just beat him to it. He was a bit unlucky.

I think Pemberton had more than 1 og. Or am I dreaming?

I can only think of his one v Man City on Good Friday 1993

Anis Slimane is another of the -1 club, OG in the 3-2 loss against Luton on Boxing Day 2023.

And I can think of at least one Wes Foderingham own goal, the shot that unluckily rebounded in off him at Fulham ~October 2023.

Didn't Soumare score at Blackburn away?

Slimane is negative in the league but scored in the league cup v Wrexham.

As I said unthread, given as an OG which I felt was harsh at the time.

Hang on, I thought you were a stickler on this stuff ...

For the millionth time, not a league game.

Playoff Games are not League Games.

How many more times?

They are.

They are not league games.

What’s wrong with you?

It’s like dealing with a child.

 

[Badger Blade]

I was thinking Jack Robinson would be up there but he scored 7(!) and conceded 5 own goals

Leeds at home in April 1992

That was Brian Gayle.

Thats was Lee Chapmans OG for us wasnt it? Pemberton knocked a corner back into the box and Chapman deflected it in.

Don't think we can count goalies, given theyre quite likely to score OGs and very unlikely to score proper ones.

I mean Leeds equaliser at the Lane End, I am convinced Chapman didn’t get the final touch

I initially thought Kozluk but he only scored two own goals against us and scored three for us.
