How many defenders have scored a hattrick?

[LCFC FOX]

Just wondering really. Can you name any Leicester defenders to of scored a hattick? Or can you name any defenders from other clubs in England to of scored a hattrick? Can't think of any recent ones my self

[billyn88]

I remember back in the day Dennis Irwin got a hat trick of penalties once for United... 

[Fox92]

The obvious choices are Leighton Baines, Ian Harte, Steve Watson?

Watson got one but not sure if he was playing in defence that game or not.

[Sampson]

I remember Gerry Taggart nearly getting one for us. Scored 2 headers from corners and had a third disallowed for a foul on the keeper.

May have been against Sheffield Wednesday but not sure.

[Vardinhio]

I have but it was in a 9-0 Sunday League victory, from CB too, still counts....

[Bert]

Dion Dublin?

[Aus Fox]

Walshy or Matt Elliot would be the best bet for us can't think of one though.

Didn't Jamie Careagher once score a hat trick of own goals?

Yeah I remember that, was definitely against Wednesday.

David Unsworth might be a good shout. Remember Lescott scoring a couple in a match before too.

[Jace]

I would have guessed Steve Walsh would be the most likely for us

Just found this, seems other than defenders deployed in midfield, like Watson, the last defender to score a hat trick was Gary Gillespie for Liverpool against Birmingham in 1987.

Chris Nicholl Aston Villa centre back scored 4 in a game at filbert street ended up 2-2 does that count?

Saw Peter Shilton score a goal at Southampton.

[ADK]

Bamba came close against Man City

[Aus Fox]

Carragher only scored twice for man Utd against Liverpool couldn't complete the own goal hat trick.

Steve Staunton did once score a hat trick for Liverpool even better as he only came on at half time.

[StanSP]

Michael Duberry.

 

Just not all in the right goal.

Gareth Bale scored a hat trick when he was still a LB a few seasons ago I believe. I think it was in the Champions League against Inter.

[lgfualol]

Schlupp soon, or Was.

He definitely played on the wing that match.

I remember Danny Butterfield scoring a hat-trick for Palace a few years ago. Think he played as a makeshift striker.

Just popped in to say that! This one my one chance of the year to look like I vaguely knew about football and it's RUINED.

Anyway, there's a bit on hat-trick scoring fullbacks here

Phil Jones scored a Champions League Hatrick in a knockout round for us... Oh no wait, that was just on my FM game

Sinisa Mihaljovic scored a hat trick once, possibly in defence.
