And Aden Flint scored a hat trick few years back for Bristol City in their 8-2 win over Walsall. He actually scored 15 that season which is amazing, if anyone’s bored has a defender ever scored more than that in a single season?
He was definitely a defender. In those days we had five attackers, usually Rees, Machin, Hudson, Hale and Humphries.Ronnie Farmer got a hat trick in a 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace, two where penalties was Ronnie strictly a defender though in those days he was a half back and would be classed more of a defender than attacker. I also remember Bobby McDonald getting two v Villa and denied a hat trick by Andy Gray who made an incredible goal line clearance then proceeded to go up the other end and bag Villa’s winner... fecking arsehole
Beat me to it!Dublin got a couple of Hat tricks and he sometimes played centre back.
I think Elliot Ward missed about 19 penalties for us one season.... or maybe it just seemed like that many.Steve Bruce got 19 in all comps during the 1990/91 season for United. Would kill for that from a Cov striker in recent years
