The African Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks for that. My late father was at that game and never tired of telling me and my brother 9who had stayed from the family tradition and follows Hibs) all about it. We had some team coming through at that time. A shame they never won any silver-wear while at the club but we were a selling club even then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 St John’s legendary scoring feat was a Scottish professional record for a few years. He was quick to prove it was no fluke either as he also scored a hat-trick on his debut for Liverpool against arch rivals Everton. The Scots seem to love scoring fast hat-tricks... Queen of the South player Tommy Bryce took all of 1 minute 46 seconds to slot three past Arbroath in 1993. He went on to score a fourth in their 6-0 win. According to Guinness The fastest time to score three goals is 90 seconds and was achieved by Tommy Ross for Ross County against Nairn County at Dingwall Ross-shire, Scotland on 28 November 1964.
