There was one I think for Morecambe not so long ago, 2013/14 rings a bell. We lost 1-3 and all their goals were scored (I think) by their midfielder Andrew Fleming
Peter Kennedy 1998 http://www.bsad.org/9798/reports/sarfenda.html
Blimey how many times did you see us play at the Kursaal:smile:
Do you remember this one F.W. Smith scored 3 for Watford at the Kursaal on the 26th April 1922.
"He got all 3 in the 4-2 defeat in October 85 "
How did that work?
I assume you are only looking at home games as if we included away matches there would be too many:sad:When yesterday's home match against Walsall was over it got me thinking about how many times I had seen a visiting player like "ERHUN OZTUMER" leave either Roots Hall/Stadium/Kursaal with a hat-trick against his name.
To start this thread and I can only use Roots Hall as an example because apart from charity matches I have never seen us play anywhere else.
So can anyone remember a visiting player scoring a hat-trick against us?
I will start with the following match:-
January 8th.1977. F.A.Cup 3rd.Round. Southend United 0, Chester 4 (Ian Edwards 3, Ian Howat)
Checked Soccerbase - he got 2 and Jack Sampson (remember him?) got the third.
Have just been given the following information from a good friend of mine which was obtained from the Soccer Star magazine from 1966.Somewhere in the back of my mind I have this vague recollection that a 19 year old Alan "Sniffer" Clarke of Leeds and England fame scored all 3 for Walsall back in a 5-3 win for us in February 1966. Anyone else recall that because I can't find anything on line to prove it.
Jamie bloody Cureton. Also Harry Kane in 2012
Harry Kane?
A Simon Sturridge hat-trick for Stoke City against us at Roots Hall in 1995. This was the only time I can remember the official man of the match award being given to an opposition player.
Checked Soccerbase - he got 2 and Jack Sampson (remember him?) got the third.
Ian Edwards for Chester City in a humilating FA Cup 4-0 home defeat to Chester City in 1977. I still haven't got over it.
I remember Stuart Brace hatrick for Grimsby. Stuart was one of the best lower league strikers. Realyy pleased when we managed to sign him.
pre-season friendly, we lost 6-0.
