What's the most spectacular own goal you ever seen? I've seen a guy doing a diving header towards his own net and he scored, he dived for it, perfect goal. What was he thinking???

That Newcastle guy. Diving header into the roof of his net. 
There was one a few weeks back in the nationwide division 1 I think. 30 yards, passes the ball back to his keeper, his keeper goes to hoof it, as you guessed and it was so predictable what would happen next.

Hit a divet in the ground, bounced over his foot and then into the back of the net. Kinda funny.

Well, if you guys watch a Tiger Cup match some years ago, there`s a match between Indonesia and Thailand. And both teams don`t wanna win, cos` the winner will have to face Vietnam. So right at the death, Indonesia sets up a play for an own goal ( yes, they set it up as if it was supposed to be a winning goal ), they passed it around the penalty area of their own, hoping a Thailand player will get the ball and scored, but the Thailand players did not try to win the ball too. Desperate for an own goal, cos` a draw will make Indonesia face Vietnam too, an Indonesian defender then turn his back, face his own keeper, then blast the hell out of it. Then he, and his teammates ( including the GK ), clapping their hands celebrating the own goal. That match was so controversial, the AFC punished both teams, even the CNN broadcasted the own goal again and again . . .

Why didnt they wanna play Vietnam??
2 for ya:
1. Aston Villa vs Birmingham this season. Throw in to Villa. The Villa player tries to throw the ball back to Peter Enckleman in the Villa goal who takes his eye of the ball as he is receiving it and it sneaks under his foot and into the goal. Enckleman must have touched it because you can't score directly from a throw in, but it was close. Add to the fact that it was in a Birmingham derby and it is a massive howler.
2. Can't remember the blokes name, I usually can but not right now, but he scored the own goal that knocked Columbia out of WC94 and got killed by the Columbian mob because of it.
Memorable for that rather than the own goal.

I heard of one thing when a team was protesting against the manager, so they scored owngoal after own goal. there was one part when the player went in goal and the goalie took a shot at him and he saved it and duly gave away a penalty and got sent off.

It was Alan McLaren. The thing is that he has already scored on the other end - the right end.
That's possibly Mark Williams, the Wimbledon Northern Irish intenational defender who is credited with the own goal.
Yes, I remember seeing that. When watching the final (winning) goal, you are tempted to say that the scorer is offside.
And also add to that Enckleman's howler in the return match when he let the ball slip through his hands so that Horsfield could score Birmingham's second.
That would have been the Frank Sinclair own goal for Leicester against Middlesbrough in the Premiership last season. Sinclair possibly dreams of beating an international goalkeeper (Ian Walker in this case), and did so - but at the wrong end.
Other shocking own goals:
1. Jason Bowen for Cardiff v Crewe. He dribbled the whole length of the pitch back towards his goalkeeper, then backpassed it, only to find that the keeper was out of position. The goalie chased after it but couldn't keep it out.
2. Rhys Weston for Cardiff v (I think) Plymouth. He controlled the ball in the six-yard box before blasting it into the top corner of his own net.
3. Wayne Hatwell for Forest Green Rovers in an FA Cup clash. He also blasted the ball into his own net from six yards out, without any pressure on him. It was good for him that he was noticed, because weeks later he earned a move to Oxford United.
4. Noel Whelan for Middlesbrough v Coventry. A cross comes in and the former Coventry man decides to take a swing to clear it on the volley, but instead miscues it straight into the net. What an own goal.
5. Steve Walsh for Leicester v Arsenal. Has to be one of the highest own goals I've ever seen, as he hoofed the ball up and over the goalkeeper (probably Kasey Keller, or Tim Flowers) to find his own net.
6. Tony Adams for Arsenal v Sunderland. Not so much as spectacular, but for most of the year it was Sunderland's only goal scored at home (Roker Park).
7. Stadium of Horrors. Sunderland's hat-trick of own goals against Charlton summed up their season. Stephen Wright started things off by flicking a shot into his own net, then Michael Proctor took centre stage. First he fired in after a shot from a Charlton player had struck the post, before he whacked a corner into his own net. Sunderland lost 3-1. If only they had not scored those own goals…
