Scored a perfect hat trick (left foot, right and header)? Scored a hat-trick but didn’t lift World Cup? All had their own teeth? [Post edited 2 Jan 2023 19:28]

You're so close, but you answered your own answer - not hat-tricks (although all had their own teeth is probably correct as well). In the UK the unofficial title is they all scored a 'haul', four goals in one game, at World Cup finals. In the US 1994 World Cup game against Cameroon, Russian Oleg Salenko equaled the feat, but then messed it up in the 75th minute by scoring a fifth - the only player to achieve that feat in the history of the World Cup. Five is apparently colloquially known as a 'glut' btw. |  |

Special Edition only connect. on 21:57 - Jan 2 with 1135 views | noah4x4 | Our last league scorer of four goals was Chris Iwelumo on November 28 2006, when we thrashed Hull City 5-1 in the Championship. It’s been a downward journey ever since. However, Macauley Bonne repeated this feat in an FA Cup tie versus non-league Wealdstone. The last league hat-trick was Kurtis Guthrie in season 2017 (versus Carlisle). Having witnessed all three of these events I feel privileged amongst U’s fans. Many youngsters have never seen a hat-trick and some have never seen four shots on target since Humes arrived. [Post edited 2 Jan 2023 21:59]

You are indeed privileged. I was at Wealdstone, but not for Big Chris's haul against Hull City. For the record, big Roy scored all four at Slough Town in '91, and Svarc did the same at Sealand Road in '73. Hunt did it twice, at Layer Rd against Donny in '62, and of course him and King both achieved a haul in our historic 9-1 against Bradford City in '61. Langman got four at Yeovil in '58 as well. However, our first 4-goal hero was Keeble in '49 in an 8-0 against Kidderminster. |  |
