RichardB Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Beats my answer by a long way !! Great stuff. I've changed the initial post to include "an important match", which excludes your benefit game. Earliest United hat trick I can find. Wednesday 0 United 5 Arthur Watson 3 Egan & Hammond one apiece Monday, 2 March 1896, presumably at olive Grove Att: 2,000 Game was a benefit for Wednesdays Mumford.
