[WillG]

That's got to be up there with the best - wet evening in 'Whicker Man' country an all that - but what's your favourite Liverpool hat trick?

Beardsley against Man U was enjoyable.

That's a tough one, but Suarez's is up there for being clincial on all three occasions. He had no right to score from the positions he was in, his 2nd is my favourite, absolute bullet, accuracy and power to find the corner from there.

 

Take your pick... LFC Hat-tricks

 

I like Rushies against Villa in 84 particularly his 3rd, sublime skill.

Kuyt against Man United was pretty special.

[stressederic]

Ronnie Rosenthal has a big shout to be included on any list of top hat tricks.

Crouch's was pretty decent "The Perfect Hatrick" was its label

[RBM]

Fowler against Arsenal or Rush against Everton

[Billy Dane]

Fowler against Arsenal or Rush against Everton

 

Agree

[Lark]

fowler against fulham. 18, left foot, right foot, header.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

fowler against fulham. 18, left foot, right foot, header.

 

That doesnt count because he scored more than 3 that night

[Earl Hafler]

Was a quality hat-trick. I really liked the finish for the second because it's seen so rarely - outside of the foot / shooting across the ball from the angle so the ball moves away from the keeper and back inside the post. Almost without exception that shot is drilled straight or with the instep and curling the opposite way.

 

Their defence being shyte helped but it would be nice to see Suarez rip Terry apart next week

[Epic Swindle]

Got to be Robbie v Arsenal.

That list is brilliant - what memories!

 

You're right about Rushie's v Villa - have a foggy memory* of watching that on Sportsnight and his third being a spectacular left foot volley into the roof of the net.

 

 

 

*accuracy of memories can go down as well as up

[Cobs]

Got to be Robbie v Arsenal.

Yep

 

Utterly joyous

 

Souey v CSKA Sofia @ No. 2

 

Owen away at Newcastle, at the time, was up there

 

And Stevie G v Everton the other week makes the short list

[Earl Hafler]

A red but not at the time - Rocket Ronnie for Southampton. Astonishing.

[Nebraska Red]

Steve Nichol away at Newcastle.

 

Horrible trip, ground was in disarray due to construction, freezing cold, but a great hat trick.

 

Rush at the pit was ace though, as was the ice box hat trick at Villa.

[JRC]

What made Rush at Villa special was thatbthe pitch was like an ice rink and most players could barely stand, yet he still had the balance to finish as he did, especially the wonderful volley.

Rush at Blackburn in the league cup

[Farmer's Tan]

Torres's hatrick against the s*** houses who kicked him all over the park. He made a statement that day and embarrassed their whole defense and it's when I realized he was a little special.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

great commentary today -

 

"The first was good, the second was even better, but the third was out of this world..."

I am actually starting to notice a softening of attitudes from commentators towards Suarez when he goes down, I am guessing that it's down to this whole Young diving routine that has benn highlighted recently.

[David Hodgson]

Kenny V Man City.

 

I don't think it was on telly, and my memory may be playing romantic tricks on me. I think it was boxing day in 82 (maybe 83). I think we won 5-2. It was a good day.

As someone else said, Kuyt was Man Utd.

[David Hodgson]

Just found this about it (the Dalglish hat-trick in 82) : http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/liverpool-v-manchester-city-classic-match

 

Good to see I helped in a small way.

Rush at Blackburn in the league cup

 

 

the hat trick goal is at 3:30 here

 

 

I remember the commentator - mcaffrey, I think - said 'Ian Rush...the name just says it all' and it was cos it was likely his last hat-trick for us that everyone went berzerk.
