Who holds the unique record of having scored hat-tricks in all 4 football divisions in England, the Premier League, the FA Cup, League Cup and at international level?
Are you ready for the answer? It's Robert Earnshaw. Yes, the bucktooth Ronaldinho lookalike that I heavily criticized in the first BPL preview is actually the holder of this interesting record. I still think he ain't good enough though.

Do You Know (1)
Here is a little footy trivia for you.
Who was the first player to score a hat-trick in the revamped English Premier League which has been in place since 1992?
Well the answer is Eric Cantona. The game was Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur which ended 5-0 to Leeds, on 25th August 1992. This is certainly befitting of a man I would call the first iconic figure in the Premiership that was mass marketed globally. Subsequently, the likes of Alan Shearer (who is the younger ever player to ever score a hat-trick on his debut at 17 years 240 days for Southampton, and also owns the record of most Premiership goals at 260), David Beckham, Thierry Henry and Gianfranco Zola all made a name for themselves, and the League.
Leeds went on to win the first ever Premiership, in a competition that was soon to be dominated by the next team Cantona played for, Manchester United.
Alright that is the snippet for tonight, till next time, cheerio!
