4) Phil Jagielka (Sheffield United and Everton) – 7 Own Goals in 592 apps

Jagielka

The veteran defender is not generally known for the number of own goals he has conceded, unlike Sinclair, but that is probably due to his long distinguished service at the two clubs he has played for.

Jagielka is a no-nonsense centre-back and throwing yourself in front of a shot can sometimes lead to the ball going into your own net.
