Before yesterday I recall Brian Gayle with 2 headers away to Man city, and Kevin Gage with two braces, one v Luton away in a 6 3 win, one v Bristol City in same 94 95 season.
Any more?
 



Tony Kenworthy must have done this in the 80's....possibly Joe Bolton against Rotherham as well. ?
 
Morgs got two in a game once, didn't he?

And of course Harry against Notts C.

Eddie Colquhoun scored twice either in the 5-0 win against Villa in Nov 69 or in the 6-0 win against Brum a few weeks later. Colin Franks was an Utility player and I am not sure if he was playing in defence when he got both goals in the 2-0 win at Orient in April 77

Bert went to both those games when we had big wins, he also recalls our Edmund scoring twice in one game on another occasion...both own goals.
Bert's memory is unable to inform him when it was though.

Yes you are correct, Tranmere away, two penalties by Kenworthy Finished 2-2.
 
Wrong end too...

I could be wrong on this but I seem to have a recollection that Pembo scored two own goals in one game when he played for us I the early 90's. I was stood on the John St West and one of them was an awesome strike (slice)... So I know he definitely scored one, but I'm sure he bagged a brace of own goals... Possibly against Man City... I've drunk a lot of alcohol since then

Gage only got one in that Bristol City game (5/11/94)

Bolton did get two against Rotherham (LC 3/9/85), but he was playing in midfield that day.

Kenworthy also got 2 goals home to Carlisle on 15/11/80 (one a pen) and at Halifax on 12/4/82 (one also a pen).

That awesome slice was in the 1-1 draw with Man City on 9/4/93. I don't think he ever got 2 og's in one game.

Colquhoun's goals were on 22/11/69 against Villa. He got one against Birmingham on 13/12/69. I think Franks was playing up front v Orient on 16/4/77.
 
Does Mitch Ward count? I know technically he was played in midfield too, but he did his share of defending.
 



I scored twice in one night at The Roxy on 24.8.96, do I win....? :)
 
Martin Pike got 2 at Notts County on Boxing Day 1988.
 
Did Heffernan get 2 when we beat Orient 6-3 or just the one?

It was in the 2-2 home draw against Wolves in Dec 1971. TC and Woody (pen) saved us a point. All goals were scored at the Kop End
 
Dellas against Tranmere in 1999. And he came on as a sub!

Although he was playing as a striker so not sure if you can count him!

And wasn't he more of a midfielder when playing for us?
 



Did Super Vassilis ever get more than one?
I recall several of the best free kicks ever, plus a stunning run n strike v Sunderland, ace strike v Tranmere at Lane..but did super vas ever get 2?
