WAS IT NOT THE CHELSEA PLAYER IN THE FA CUP FINAL No - own-goal! Scored in 1977 for Cambridge United after six seconds. Punt up-field from the kick-off, off defender's head, and in. I suspect it's actually faster than the fastest goal in league history.
Terry Butcher scored six own goals at Rangers FC. Jamie Carragher has scored the same amount for Liverpool. Richard Dunne and Frank Sinclair have both scored six own goals in the Premier League.
