Greatest Own Goal of All Time

Willie Donachie scoring for Wales against Scotland 1978.

[@rhyswiddett6288]

One of the greatest commentary lines ever: ‘Willie Donachie, who’s never scored for Scotland... has now scored for Wales’

[@eyesonjason]

This line has never been beaten! It's brilliant!

I remember watching this on tv at the time

[@joebish6629]

Wearing the same strip as when Dalglish nutmegged Clemence that was in the days of course when English football wasn't a plaything for Arabas

[@SuperKillbill1234]

@@hawkerrielly9317 Solid defender Willie Donachie, had a few howlers in my time also...all was forgiven 5mins later...hope he's well.

[@lallford]

I remember watching this on TV and being totally bored with Scotland winding down the clock. I could barely believe it when Donachie overhit the back pass.

[@lallford]

@Nasti Chestikov In the 70's most national teams were gulity of back passing to the keeper to waste time. My favourite team at the time were the Brazil 78 World Cup squad who started the tournement slowly by drawing with Sweden but just got better and better and were unlucky to get just 3rd spot

[@MrPaulpops2003]

Heard that the score was 1.1 before game ,so watching the highlights thought bloody hell that must have been a mistake .......

[@lallford]

@@MrPaulpops2003 Scotland scored a tasty goal to take the lead in this match until the Donachie back pass

[@SiVlog1989]

That's the danger of running out the clock like that, lapses in concentration can happen

[@PassRush49]

No wonder they eliminated the back pass to keepers. It was just total time wasting and so boring for the fans.

[@imgoingtocountdownfromthir4580]

What is it with Manchester City players and sublime own goals? Jamie Pollock, scored an even better own goal in 1998 for City Vs QPR, typical City, that's why I love them, MCFC OK.

[@barrymedwin7197]

He has a Welsh grandfather !! 😁

[@onelittleindian745]

pare wullie.

[@druidus]

Since they outlawed the back-pass, you don't get comedy like this anymore.

[@chrisredditch]

The back-pass hasn't been outlawed. The keeper handling it has.

[@druidus]

@@chrisredditch I stand corrected.

[@adbell1967]

@@chrisredditch that's fine by today's standards then because the keeper certainly never handled that one!

You should have been to firhill tonight

[@ricocamGTO]

Think he changed his name to 'Donkey' after that 🤔

[@johngalea4930]

any one can do a mistake, one of the best left back ever played for Scotland and. MAN CITY. What a bastard commentator. WILLIE hope you are in good health and wish you good luck where ever you are

[@stalkek]

What was the commentator supposed to do? Pretend it was a golden moment for the defender?

[@ivnarc6430]

Lmao

[@standroid64]

The United Kingdom playing away!

[@Johnstone72]

Bookies much chaps?

[@lonestar6709]

British football, in the 70's. Pass it back to the keeper. Even Liverpool during their glory days, were the same. Boring negative play. I'm English, and even I admit... in the 70's, Britain sucked.

[@winny8420]

Whose the goalkeeper? it doesn't look like Alan Rough. Where Scotland trying to play the ball out from the back? 🤣🤣

[@trebleking1641]

Jim Blyth.

[@JADAMSMEDIA]

Haha
