To be fair to Scully he was sold by Johnson’s pause as he ran up. I don’t think there is hardly ever a penalty taken when players from either side dont encroach the area but the kick is seldom retaken.How about the time for the hat-trick? He did pretty well and there can’t be that many scored within 11 minutes (would have been 10 mins if it hadn’t been for Mr Scully )
Most events from that season are best forgotten, trying to remember any good moments bring back some nightmaresI'm trying to remember Grimes' hat-trick. Was that the game where he lobbed the 'keeper from the right wing position near the halfway line?
That Linnecor hat trick was the last at Anfield until Peter Ndlovu scored one for Coventry in 1995.
... apart from Terry Alcock (Norwich) in Jan 1962.

7: Johnny Campbell, Andy GraverDoes anyone know the city player with the most hat-tricks of all time? I dont remember a player getting more than one in my time watching Lincoln (admittedly not that long)
Not quite. Bert scored after 3 and 19 minutes to give City a 2-0 lead before a Ronnie Moran penalty pulled a goal back after half an hour following a Jeff Smith handball. Bert added his third with a penalty on 64 minutes at the Kop end after Liverpool keeper Bert Slater tripped Andy Graver when through on goal.I suppose one of the more "famous" ones would be Bert Linnecor's at Anfield (I believe all at the Kop End?).
I never knew that i had always been told that Ndlovu was the first since Linnecor.... apart from Terry Alcock (Norwich) in Jan 1962.
7: Johnny Campbell, Andy Graver
He scored a hat trick against Norwich in the flt the game before that 9 0 game.A glance at the Nannestads' Official History shows that Campbell got five of his hat-tricks in one season - 1936/37 - including scoring all five in a 5-3 win over Rochdale.
I remember Derek Bell getting two hat-tricks in the 1982/83 season, one coming in the 9-0 v Bournemouth.
