Blades Hat-Trick Heroes

[DifferentClass]

Now gone down a Harry Johnson wormhole. His debut sounds insane...

"He played his first match in United colours for a Reserve side at Heckmondwike, and upset the home fans who 'displayed a certain amount of animosity,' and one irate man even waved an unloaded gun at him."

Fucking bedwetter.

It would be interesting (if anyone can be arsed) to see the top three goalscorers in all competitions since 1960.

That would be Woodward, Edwards and Sharp.

Not only did Harry Hammond score five hat tricks for us but he was our first ever player to get a red card! Surely he deserves a statue for that? Wilder would love him. Culture carrier! What happened after he was sent off was brilliant...

"Having been dismissed in an away fixture with Crewe in April 1892 Hammond actually believed his life was in danger and fled from the ground, hiding at Crewe station until the rest of the United party arrived."

Also a good snippet on his departure from this world...

"After he finished playing football Hammond became a publican in Bolton where it was reported he died whilst playing billiards in his pub."

Top lad!

Dean Hammond's great-grandad?

How far the apple falls...

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Sydie Peck becomes a very unlikely addition to the list.

Well done lad.

 

[Richeee]

Bert Menlove....ooer missus...

He needs to score 4

He needs to score 4

Why not five?

Who was the last United player to score a first half hattrick?

Don't know but someone in shoutbox sed Peck's the first midfielder to score a Blades hat trick since Michael Brown

 

[FMBlade1]

Amy Andrews is the last female player to score a hat trick for us

Michael Brown never scored a hattrick for us.

Love the lad, but I'd have bet good, good money on Peck never making this list. Fair fucks, the 2nd was an absolute peach.

Did Bob Booker have the chance of a hat trick against Southampton in February 1991? Sure he was still on the pitch when Gannon blasted his penalty over the bar to miss the chance to put us 5-1 up. Seems strange they didn't give Bob the chance with the game safe.

Sydie Peck becomes first Blades midfielder (not counting wingers) to score a hat-trick since Tommy Hoyland 69 years ago!

Has any Blade ever scored a perfect Hat-Trick? Can certainly image Deane would have.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Sharp vs QPR he scored a header, right foot then left foot. Not sure if his only perfect one.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Billy Sharp:

I am not sure this is correct. Hoyland was wearing number 8 for this game. He was not playing his usual midfield role, but inside forward, as he did on occasion.

Peck’s hat trick was scored in 18 minutes. There can’t be too many quicker Blades hat tricks than that?

Billy Sharp:

Was he ever that youmg.

Asaba at Brighton in 2002-3 was faster I think

Yes, 11 mins.

Clarke's final three goals against Hull were scored in a 12 minute span as well. Is it still a hat-trick if you've already got one before that? (no)

Question for you. Should a double hat trick be 4 goals, like cricket, or 6 goals?

Off topic, but that middle stripe. My word.

Clarke also scored a perfect hat trick that day (his first three goals, for the avoidance of doubt).

Fantastic hat trick too, a tap in from a rebound and two penalties!

World class.
