Is it Benteke for Belgium?
McAllister or Strachan for Scotland?
Christian Benteke for Belgium.
Gordon Durie for Scotland.
Benteke is right, the Scottish ones are wrong.
Scotland and the three mystery countries left.
The goalscorers for the 3 mystery countries achieved their hattricks in 2003, 2004 and 2009.
The Scot scored his hattrick in the debut season of the Premier League being the third person to ever score a hattrick.
Dwight Yorke for Trinibago. Gudjohnsen as an Icelander. Duncan Ferguson as the Scotch man.
Man city benjani. Not sure which african country
So we have to guess the countries as well, ok. Romania (Mutu), Ukraine (Rebrov) and Latvia (Pahars)
Chicharito - Mexico
Choccy McClair as the scotsman?
Marians Pahars for Latvia maybe. Carlos Vela for Mexico. Kevin Lisbie for Jamaica.
If Gudjohnssen and Pahars are indeed correct (I think they are as I’m pretty sure both have scored hat tricks) we’re only the CONCACAF player short. If not your Lisbie, maybe Radzinski (Canada). He was a striker at least.
Yorke has already been guessed. Gudjohnsen is correct.
Ferguson is not.
Benjani is the second man to do it for Zimbabwe. First was Peter Ndlouvu who was already guessed.
None of those countries have ever had a hattrick scorer.
Mexico never scored a hattrick in the Premiership. Choccy is wrong.
First two are wrong, Lisbie is right though.
Just missing Scotland and one UEFA country.
Pahars did score a hattrick for Southampton but it was in a reserves match during a trial period for him. Never scored one in the Premier League.
Kevin Gallagher?
The Scot has won the old Third division as well as the old Second division with two different clubs.
The man from the unknown country has won 2 League titles, a domestic cup, the Europa League, the playoffs and was once named Footballer of the year for his country of birth.
Yossi Benayoun must have got a hat trick at some point.
The Scottish player is doing my head in. Is it Gordon Strachan?
Benayoun is the missing national.
Strachan was the second, he was beaten to it by about 4 months.
John Hendrie. Was he Lee's Da?

I need those internet points!
I just figured it was wrong tbh and that Berkovic has picked his head up from the bushes at the West Ham training ground and bagged one.
This is a quick one based on that.
Roque Santa Cruz and Dion Dublin are two men that have been on the losing side when scoring a hattrick. There is one other man who has been on the losing side twice, name him...
Defoe
Matt Le Tiss, iirc. Certainly did it vs Norwich in the mid 90s.
Yep.
They won the Norwich game 5-4 though.
Lost to Oldham 4-3 away and 4-3 against Forest at home.
Memory is a funny thing, got the right player by citing a game I remembered wrong.
Yorke also did it for Villa but only the once.
Can you name the seven third generation (grandfather, father and son) players who represented their countries international?
Chicharito I'm sure.
Does it have to be the same national side? Thiago Alcantara's dad is Mazinho, but bugger knows what his grandad was up to.
Guaranteed there will be a Faroese family in this.
Malta as if anyone knows that.
May have overlooked how difficult this one is. You may be able to get the uruguary and Slovakia player. Someone on this form may well be irish and could give an answer.
Diego Forlan's dad played in the World Cup, was there a grandpa Forlan too?
I can only offer Martin Skrtel as a guess for that Slovakia player. Tough one this time!
Slovakia - Vladimir Weiss, his dad, and presumably his?
I think the only Maltese player I know is Mifsud.
