Other famous hat-tricks:

Kevin Lisbie v Liverpool
Dennis Bailey v Man Utd
Darren Beckford v Everton

The third goal *was* very good, but AB is right - the first one was a gift (Van der Sar should have saved it and the defender should have cleared off the line) and the second was just ridiculous.

The boy has some talent and I think Mark Hughes will realise his full potential but he's not *that* good - and I'll be intrigued to see if he can motivate himself for less high-profile games. And if he'll get shoved back on the right when Craig Bellamy - a far better player - comes back.
