B.B.The Legend Lives On.

First XI⭐🦐
When yesterday's home match against Walsall was over it got me thinking about how many times I had seen a visiting player like "ERHUN OZTUMER" leave either Roots Hall/Stadium/Kursaal with a hat-trick against his name.
To start this thread and I can only use Roots Hall as an example because apart from charity matches I have never seen us play anywhere else.
So can anyone remember a visiting player scoring a hat-trick against us?
I will start with the following match:-
January 8th.1977. F.A.Cup 3rd.Round. Southend United 0, Chester 4 (Ian Edwards 3, Ian Howat)
 
There was that fella for Watford* who was a converted left-back for the day and bagged a hat-trick in a 4-0 win that springs to mind immediately.

I'll try and think of some more.

*Edit : Darren Bazeley - 4th February 1995

Lloyd Owusu scored hat-tricks home AND away for Brentford against us in the 1998/99 season.
 
Perry Groves, maybe twice?

He got all 3 in the 4-2 defeat in October 85 but only 2 in the 5-2 defeat in January 85. Got another 3 in the Football League Trophy at Roots Hall in 4-0 defeat in Jan 86. That's 8 in less than a year - must be a record of some sort !

Edit: Checking this again, the Football League Trophy game was at Layer Road on 25th November and not at Roots Hall and we lost 4-1. Frank Lampard retired not long after those two pastings.

Oztumer's was of course the third we have conceded this season. Is that another record?

Edit: Was actually the fourth.....

Somewhere in the back of my mind I have this vague recollection that a 19 year old Alan "Sniffer" Clarke of Leeds and England fame scored all 3 for Walsall back in a 5-3 win for us in February 1966. Anyone else recall that because I can't find anything on line to prove it.
 
There was one I think for Morecambe not so long ago, 2013/14 rings a bell. We lost 1-3 and all their goals were scored (I think) by their midfielder Andrew Fleming
 
4 hat tricks against us this season and it's nearly 6 years since any of our players scored a hat trick in a first team game (20th April 2012 by the man who couldn't speak English v Barnet). That must be the longest run in our history without one.

Blimey how many times did you see us play at the Kursaal:smile:
Do you remember this one F.W. Smith scored 3 for Watford at the Kursaal on the 26th April 1922.
