Here is a question for anyone bored out >there - who is United's oldest hat-trick scorer in >the top division? >I don't know the answer so don't ask me! This question was asked a few weeks ago. Looking into the archives I can find: Joe Spence age 31 - 4 v West Ham (h) 4-2 01 Feb 1930 Bill Rawlings age 32 - 3 v Burnley (h) 4-3 07 Apr 1928 Bill Rawlings age 33 - 3 v Middlesbrough (a) 3-2 14 Sep 1929 Stan Pearson age 33 - 3 v Derby County (a) 3-2 10 Sep 1952 Denis Law and Jack Rowley didn't beat the above, but one man did.... On October 28th 2000, Teddy Sheringham netted 3 in a 5-0 win against Southampton at Old Trafford. I made him 34 years and 6 months old. The youngest hat-trick scorer for United in a League game was Jack Rowley, who scored 4 against Swansea Town in December 1937 aged 17 years 58 days. Post-war, Andy Ritchie scored 3 against Leeds United in March 1979 aged 18 years 118 days.
