Billy Dodds, Jon Daly and maybe Pettigrew?

Or maybe Johnny Russell.

Well, that was quick (particulary at this hour).

Billy Dodds v St.Johnstone away on his full debut (I was there).

Jon Daly v Falkirk away (wasn't there, but watched it on live telly).

Johnny Russell v Killie away. The last hat-trick a Utd player had notched away from Tannadice full-stop, until yesterday. Again I was lucky enough to be there, Johnny gave the ultimate Centre Forward's performance that day imo.

Not sure on Willie P as he was just a wee bit before my time watching DUFC.

But i'm sure others on here can confirm or deny and chip in with one or two others.

Lawrence Shankland scored his 3rd hat-trick for Utd yesterday afternoon.

But this one was a wee bit more rare in that it was a 'perfect hat-trick'. For those unfamiliar with the phrase it means your goals have been scored by your head, right foot and left foot.

I can think of at least 3 other Utd players who have also accomplished this feat in tangerine. But i won't say.

How many others can you guys name, other than Shankland and the 3 (probably easy) one's that spring to my mind?

Nae cheating.

 
Also he's scored a hat trick of headers in the same season, surely unique in Scotland at least?

What is the most hat tricks a player has scored for us in a season?

Kevin Gallacher scored a header, left and right foot, at Hamilton over thirty years ago.

 

Christ so he did.

I should have remembered that. My old man took me to that game.
