Sorry if this thread has been done before - I'm new to the forum.

When my friend and I were discussing how angry we were at the nature of the defeat on Monday, we tried to give ourselves a bit of perspective. We recalled a game against Colchester at the Withdean on Boxing day (I think) about 11 or 12 years ago, in which Adam Hinshlewood scored a cracker of an own goal from well outside his area.

I looked for it on youtube and it's there, along with another brilliant own goal from Collin Hawkins!

Are these the best Albion own goals in history?

The video title is 'Worst Own Goals EVER', but frankly I think they're beautiful.

We've come a long, long way.

Colin Hawkins bullet header had total comedic value, I remember most of the crowd laughing at it. Poor Colin, he was a lovely fella as well.

Travelling 7 hours on the coach to Anfield to watch Dunk keepy uppy into his own net was also a fantastic highlight, we scored 3 own goals that day, Wonder if that’s ever been ‘beaten’?

There must be an OG in this avalanche of goals.

I think we scored 3 own goals that day with Bridcutt getting the other 2. Me and my mates piled off the coach looking for a pub and one decided to have an asthma attack so we dropped him at the Annfield stewards and St John's ambulance whilst we went to the pub.

Dean Hammonds bullet header against Blackpool at the Amex when we won 6-1 was also a beauty.

The AH one was a particular delight. I was sitting right behind the goal for that one and it was going in the moment it left his boot.

Dunk's at Anfield surely takes some beating. It seemed like his "keepy-uppy" juggling of the ball went on for ages before the inevitable happened.

Hammond against either Wolves or Blackpool in his second coming for us.

Brilliant diving header.

I think The Hawk will take some beating on this.

That was as comical as the famous Iain Dowie own goal where he'd lost his contact lens and had forgotten where he was.

What are the greatest own goals in Palace history? (apart from burning down their own town).

Has to be The Hawk's bullet header shirley? Tho seem to recall Hinsh The Younger trickling one in from about about thirty yards out. Maybe even both in the same season?

Great shout! Didn't at least one of them hit the crossbar then go in off the back of Stockdales head?

Shame on you old timers.

What about Ian Chapman smashing one in from about 6 yards v Leeds (?) at The Goldstone.

Yes, that one just popped into my head. I'm pretty sure it was the Blackpool game we won 6-1, scoring all 7 goals. It was a cracking finish.
