Have any footballers ended their career with more own goals than goals? | The Knowledge

The Knowledge tackles a trivia question: how many players ended their careers with more own goals than goals scored for their own team. It points to examples spanning leagues and decades, noting how hard it can be to compile complete datasets. Southampton’s Francis Benali is cited for scoring just one “positive” goal and multiple own goals, while Internazionale defender Riccardo Ferri recorded six goals and eight own goals in Serie A. Jamie Carragher is listed with four goals and seven own goals, including two in a single match against Manchester United in 1999, plus an FA Cup final own goal in 2006. The article also mentions Eredivisie’s Sven van Beek with eight own goals in 193 matches and Everton’s Billy Balmer.
