Odd question, but has the crowd reaction to a goal changed over time?
Was there that match and when George Kirby netted a debut hat trick.
I can't remember seeing one of ours score more than 3. Also can't remember seeing an opposition player do it either
I remember the Wednesday game well as I took both kids on a bitter winter evening. The friendly gatemen said how good it was to see 2 young girls at a footie game. Unfortunately my young son was not best pleased with the comment. We absolutely murdered them in the first half and somehow went in at half time drawing. The home fans even booed them off the pitch despite drawing.Dublin scored a hatrick against Sheffield Wednesday in a midweek televised game. We took the lead three times but in typical City fashion managed to lose 4-3.
I think the fastest hat trick I have ssen live was by Nigel Clough as he helped Forest come back from 4-0 down (Kevin Gallagher hat trick). He must have scored his 3 inside 10 minutes just before half time.
I also saw Fergie score 4 at home to Ipswich once. They put Ferguson 4 Ipswich 0 on the score board.
As a kid at Highfield Road we used to click our wooden rattles when we scored,the adults mainly just clapped. Then when I got older and went in the West End after a goal we went a bit nuts, and often end up on the deck !Odd question, but has the crowd reaction to a goal changed over time?
He did. Wasn't there for that.Didn’t Mick Ferguson score 4 goals against Ipswich way back? I am sure it said Ferguson 4 Ipswich 0 on the scoreboard at the end of the match, or have I just made that up?

There are two versions of Martin Tyler's commentary for that, it's definitely slightly different one of the old Cov tapes from the 90sI always remember this Speedie hattrick where he still ended up on the losing side because of Bernie Slaven's hattrick and a young Stuart Ripley tearing us a new one.
Dublin got a hattrick v Sheffield Wed we lost 4-3 and against Chelsea 3-2 winSpeedie & Ndlovu to add to the list. I imagine Dion too and can remember plenty of braces but I can't recall any hat tricks. Does anyone know if he did?
That tosser Lee Hughes I remember at Crewe getting 3 (barely any more after) out of 6 I think although if memory serves 2 were pens. I also remember Jan Molby scoring 3 against us that were all penalties.
Lovely play for the first and third, you can't beat old fashioned wing play. Give me that over tiki-taka any dayYet people will always insist Smith was crap...

He was apart from that season. Got hung out to dry by Sillett who left him in the team for too long when he should have been rested.Yet people will always insist Smith was crap...

The rattles also came in useful to accompany “glad all over”As a kid at Highfield Road we used to click our wooden rattles when we scored,the adults mainly just clapped. Then when I got older and went in the West End after a goal we went a bit nuts, and often end up on the deck !
They don’t countMcSheffrey scored three in the 8-0 demolition of Rushden & Diamonds.
How come? He had Greg Downs before Edwards!There was also the 'Paul Edwards factor'. Once Edwards was introduced as fullback Smith's confidence fell away.
Grendel has another accountThey don’t count
Crystal Palace has Glad All Over as their main song these days. Nicked it off us !The rattles also came in useful to accompany “glad all over”

Dobson must have played around then I guess aswell.Poor Greggie Downs, he always cops flack...
As I recall, Paul Edwards made Greg Downs look like Marcelo.
Also, Downs wasn't the only left back we used in the 1987-8, 1988-90 seasons (he only played 27 and 20 league games in these seasons, Smith played 13 and 34).
I remember having a debate with my West Ham supporting mate on who between Smith and Paul Ince was the better prospect. At the time I really thought Smith was going to be the man. Well one went to Milan the other to Grimsby so proves what I know. I still believe as a 20 year old Smith had massive potential but for some reason it never happened.I like the way Smith confuses Paul Kerr for the second goal - ball one side of Kerr and Smith the other - Kerr is rooted to the spot.
Dobson must have played around then I guess aswell.
David Cross scored two hat tricks in one season. The first was on the opening day of the season in a 4-1 win at Everton, I was at that game. I missed his second hat trick which was on the last day of the season away at Burnley, another win.Micky Quinn scored the first ever opening day hat-trick in the history of the premier league in 1993 against Arsenal. Dion Dublin also had an opening day hat-trick against Chelsea in 97. It’s a very elite club the club of opening day hat-tricks in the premier league, only 9 players IIRC and two are Sky Blue.
Weren’t we two up in 4 mins at that Everton game? (Alderson?)David Cross scored two hat tricks in one season.

With the amount of goals that Clarrie Bourton scored you would have to think he got a few 3+
