Last opposition player to score a hattrick at Anfield?

[magneto]

I'm busy watching some local footy here in South Africa (Sundowns vs Silver Stars) and noticed that Peter Ndlovu (former Coventry striker) is on the subs bench for Sundowns.

 

I recall him scoring a hattrick for City in 1995 at Anfield (I think they won 3 - 2).

 

Anyway, is he the last player for an opposing team to score a hattrick at Anfield?

 

Just wondering.

 

Thanks

Darren Huckerby got one in the FA Cup (1998?) I think.

Didn't Viduka score 4 against us for Leeds? Might have been at Elland road.

Yah was at Elland Road.

they had to unscrew ruddocks legs after ndlovu had finished with him

[The Hitman]

On his day,an utterly brilliant player,Ndlovu was.

I used to love watching him.

 

One of those average players who could all of a sudden,look world-class.

Ndlovu was watched by us on many occassions.

The brilliant Kevin Lisbie?

These days he's the Zimbo Shevchenko. As in massive pay cheque, on the bench mostly and hasn't scored for a while.

You would be correct. Wasn't he the first and only player to do so?

[Ramón Benítez Hernández]

Ndlovu was awesome. I remember him ripping South Africa to shreds in an African Nations qualifier when he first came onto the scene. He was just a kid.

 

Boyhood red as well.

The first 'opposition' player to do so was Ndlovu. The first 'away' player to do that was Staunton.

[magneto]

So the first and only player to do this at Anfield is Ndlovy?

 

In our 114 year history no one else has scored a hattrick at Anfield????

[KD07]

Ravanelli on his debut.

eh?

[Andyjandy]

ARGH Clarfication needed

[berdoing]

Is Staunton otherwise known as the 'Wigan question'?

Wasn't that a 3 - 3 draw at the Riverside?

[johngibo YPC]

eh?

 

I think its something like he scored a hattrick for Ireland when Wales played a home friendly there.

must've been a sorry day for welsh football if stan scored three.

[L19red]

I thought wigan switched the away cup-tie to anfield and stan got a hatrick. Techncially we were still the away team. Its splitting hairs really, but he was an away player who scored a hatrick but obviously not an opponent

that seems more likely than my answer

I believe that Ndlovu is the most recent - and the first one since Cliff Holton for Arsenal in November 1952

 

Others to do so before include George Robledo (Newcastle United), Eric Brook (Man City), Dixie Dean (twice), John Boag (Derby), Alf Common (Boro) and Bobby Parker (Everton)
