Reading the report on the Under 16's match with Tonbridge Angels where their player JJ got a 6 minute hat-trick set me off through the record books where I discovered
The fastest hat-trick in English football was scored by 'Jock' Dodds of Blackpool in 1943. It took him just two and a half minutes against Tranmere Rovers.
The fastest hat-trick in international football was scored by England's Willie Hall in three and a half minutes against Ireland in 1938.
The world record for the fastest hat-trick came in 1973 by Maglioni of Independient against Gimnasia. This took one minute and fifty seconds.
Just thought I'd share my newly gained knowledge with you.
