I'll check Mark Bresciano but it's not the player I have in mind.
Everything on the list is as a player, btw.
EDIT: Bresciano not played PL for a start.

I should also say you're not a million miles away with the logical process.
I've had it pegged as either an Australian or American, but if it is I can't think of anyone who fits the bill completely.
It's not an Australian or an American.
A clue: one of the World Cups was in his home country.
Actually I made a slight bork. He hasn't played in the Premier League, but he has played in the Championship.
Kawaguchi?
Bingo.
98 and 06 World Cups in Europe
02 World Cup in Japan (didn't play) and Asian Cup winner 2004
10 World Cup in South Africa (didn't play)
1999 Copa America in Paraguay
Atlanta Olympics
And an ill fated stint with Portsmouth which I seem to have misremembered as being in the top flight.
Not a chance I was getting that.
Same. I hate it when I spend ages trying to figure one out only to find out that I'd have never got it in a million years.
I thought more people would know him, or at least clock the Japan/Copa America thing and get it from there.
It was the home nation World Cup clue that made the lightbulb go off for me, it left just Japan and South Korea as options.
Here's one for Jimmy, which six players have scored Premier League hat-tricks against Chelsea?
Kanu has scored his six times in my nightmares.
Can't think of any others at the moment, Tevez?
Aguero got one last year
Patrik Berger.
Oh, don't tell me, Steven Naismith.
1:
2: Berger
3: Kanu
4:
5: Naismith
6: Aguero
Viduka? I don't know why I think that.
Did Fowler get one when we bummed them 5-1 (back when there was an amicable arrangement for neither side to bother at the opponent's ground)?
Both wrong.
1: Did it in a similar colour shirt to no.6
2: Berger
3: Kanu
4: Scored his for the same club as another player on the list
5: Naismith
6: Aguero
They also appear to be in date order too but I'm not 100% on that.
1 - Coventry player - Ndlovu/Huckerby/Dublin
4 - Van Persie
Oh yeah, Dublin in that game when we had to borrow their kit.
I'm not sure I understand the question correctly, but is it Deschamps?
Won the things listed with France, played for Chelsea briefly and has since gone to a World cup as a manager?
edit: New page and all. Didn't get the question right anyway.
Get with the program, MATE
The Dublin hat-trick was the first game of whichever season, I remember it was the hottest day in history and I burned my legs on the seat, but on the upside I saw myself on the highlights on telly.
Desailly's debut. We were tipped as league winners for some unknown reason.
The main reason I wanted to go was to see either Gullit or Vialli in person, and whichever one it was didn't even come off the bench. Load of arse.
Both correct.Originally Posted by SvN
Didn't Dublin get a hat trick for Villa on the first game of the season at some point?
He got a hat-trick on his first or second game for Villa I reckon, but he transferred mid season.
I can remember that based on vague memories of schoolyard chatter at the age of 10-11 but I can't remember what happened last week.
He scored 9 goals in 4 games or something mental when he first went there. I always liked Dublin for some reason. I sat next to him on a train once, too. But totally bottled it and pretended I didn't know who he was.
Staying on the subject of hat-tricks, 34 players have scored three or more since football was invented in 1992, the numbers below correspond to how many each player got.

Do you want the numbers as well, or just the player name?
Dublin got at least two for us, so he's on there.
Lukaku must have three by now.
Berbatov scored one whenever he turned up or was playing Wigan it felt like, must have got three or four.
Schurrle got a disproportionate amount of them I'm sure.
Perfect opportunity to ask him how The Dube is coming along.
You can guess the numbers too for extra internet credit if you like

Les FerdinandI thought Kevin Campbell might have been trickier.
Couple of random guesses:
Bellamy
Ronaldo
Giroud
Ian Wright
Bent
Just the one.
Just guesses too, but maybe James Beattie or John Hartson.
edit: Or if not them, maybe Adebayor or that Portsmouth/City Zimbabwean Benjani.
No to both.
Two are retired and would have scored theirs in the 90's.
The other scored for four different PL sides but currently plays elsewhere in Europe. He got his hat-tricks for his first British club, two of them against the same team in successive years.This one was Pens cheeky edit
