[dhandeh]

Bobby Robson
Ron Greenwood
?

Yes to Rir Sobby Bobson, no to Ron Greenwood.

 

[Famine]

Don Revie and Peter Taylor (for his one match) both played for England. Buggered if I can think of another.

Do I not like that didn't and neither did Howard Wilkinson. Pretty sure Sven and Fabio didn't...

 

[dhandeh]

Don Revie and Peter Taylor are in.

Here is the chronological order and his number of caps for England.

Alf Ramsey,
???????, 5 appearances as a player
Don Revie,
Bobby Robson
Terry Venables
Glenn Hoddle
Kevin Keegan
Peter Taylor
Stuart Pearce

 

[Famine]

Oh, Joe Mercer. Billion starts for Arsenal.

 

[dhandeh]

Oh, Joe Mercer. Billion starts for Arsenal.

That's the last one.

 

[Ferrari_458]

Who's asking the next question? Wouldn't want to see this thread die..

 

[dhandeh]

Probably TyrrellRacing, I will message him to get his arse over here!

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Arse here.

A total of 8 European players hold the honour of being the only player from their country to score a hat trick in the Premier League. Name them.

 

[Emptyone]

Shevchenko - Ukraine

Aside from that, you picked a horrible quiz

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Nope.

Some very surprising and obvious answers.

 

[Emptyone]

Ok, Voronin - Ukraine

This is tricky, but going to be obvious answers evidently.

EDIT: Bellamy - Wales
Going on the fact I don't think Giggs has scored a hat-trick, or Earnshaw has played top flight football. That's my contributions, I'll stop fumbling and let someone else get some actual answers ...

 

[Ferrari_458]

I'm gonna take a punt with these two:

Dzeko - Bosnia & Herzegovina
Suarez - Uruguay

Voronin has never scored a Premier League hat trick. You're right, Giggs hasn't scored a prem triple. However 4 Welsh players have, Bellamy isn't one of them.

Could be worse, I could've said Non-European players, then you could have looked forward to guessing the likes of Yeboah, Wanchope and Tchoyi.

I'm gonna take a punt with these two:

Dzeko - Bosnia & Herzegovina
Suarez - Uruguay

Dzeko is correct. 👍

Suarez is the only Uruguayan to a score a hat trick. I hope you know Uruguay isn't a European country though ...

 

[Ferrari_458]

Missed the European bit in the question there..

EDIT: Wait, how about Cristiano Ronaldo, I actually can't think of another Portuguese guy whose scored a hat-trick..

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Yep Ronaldo is one. 👍

Dzeko - Bosnia and Herzegovina - Ferrari_458
Ronaldo - Portugal - Ferrari_458
6 to go.

 

[Fastas]

Di Canio, Italy
Henry, France (hmm, what abouts Anelka?!)
Klinsman, Germany
Van Persie, Netherlands (yer,..probably not unique either)
Ronaldo, Portugal
Torres, Spain
Lundberg, Sweden
err,..Mikel Beck, Denmark.... ok, I'm really guessing now...

Edit: Rommadal, Denmark?

 

[dhandeh]

Torres? Before he went rubbish!

 

[GTP_Plato]

Robbie Keane - Ireland

 

[Emptyone]

Are we counting Russia as european in this case? In which case Arshavin - Russia is another answer/educated guess

And ... Robbia Keane for Ireland. Maybe?

EDIT: Tree/d on Keane, if it's right anyway

 

[GTP_Plato]

Drogba - Ivory Coast

Think this was against West Brom

 

[Fastas]

Ole Solskar, Norway

Unless the continents have merged whilst I was asleep, I think that the Ivory Coast is still apart of Africa.

 

[GTP_Plato]

Sorry wrapped up in TV and forgot about the thread title

 

[Ferrari_458]

Wait again..

I reckon Berbatov - Bulgaria is one

 

[TyrrellRacing]

No to all recent ones except Berbatov. 5 hat tricks to his name 👍. Leon Best is also Irish and Arshavin isn't the only Russian to score.

Ivory Coast isn't European. Although I suppose you misread the question

Lots of Norwegians have scored hat tricks. How can you forget Tore Andre Flo ?

Dzeko - Bosnia and Herzegovina - Ferrari_458
Ronaldo - Portugal - Ferrari_458
Torres - Spain - Fastas
Ljungberg - Sweden - Fastas
Berbatov - Bulgaria - Ferrari_458

3 to go. Now these are difficult.

 

[GTP_Plato]

How about forssell, I think he was playing for Birmingham at the time?

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Forssell is one. 👍

Dzeko - Bosnia and Herzegovina - Ferrari_458
Ronaldo - Portugal - Ferrari_458
Torres - Spain - Fastas
Ljungberg - Sweden - Fastas
Berbatov - Bulgaria - Ferrari_458
Forssell - Finland - GTP_Plato

1 fairly easy one, 1 very hard one.
