We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Footie Trivia Question of the Week


After watching some cracking goals over the weekend, I was inspired to give you a goal-related trivia question this week.

"There are three players who've scored hat-tricks for three separate Premiership sides. Two of them - Les Ferdinand and Kevin Campbell - have since retired or sunk into obscurity. However, the third is still plying his trade in the Premiership. Name him and the three clubs."

Good luck, lads!

Nice guess, but no. He's not on the coveted list. He definitely scored a hat-trick for you lot, but not for Liverpool and he's only just started scoring for Bolton.

Guess again.

I have two guesses.
Andy Cole
Newcastle, United, and Citeh

or

Robbie Fowler
Liverpool, Leeds and Citeh

Cole could have score a hat-trick for Fulham instead of Newcastle

Sorry, mate. It's not either "Andrew" Cole or Robbie Fowler. I vividly remember a hat-trick that Cole scored for the Magpies at Anfield and he almost certainly scored one for you lot. But since leaving ManYoo - sorry, he just hasn't scored that much for Blackburn, Citeh or anyone else.

Same story for "God." Robbie scored buckets full of goals for 'Pool, but not since then. You're having a laugh if you think he scored a hat-trick for Leeds. I don't think he probably scored three for us in all of his games!

Keep guessing.

I found this buddy boy. The whole website didn't open but this was on GOOGLE

The three players to score hat tricks at three different premiership clubs are Andy Cole (Newcastle, Man Utd, Blackburn), Ferdinand (QPR, Newcastle, ...

The answer I got off Google was Teddy Sheringham. "Ready Ted" has scored hat-tricks for Spurs, your lot and West Ham.

So perhaps there are four of them, with two still playing.

Well done, mate.

Teddy was my next guess. I don't remember a hat-trick that he scored for us. Did Ted get one for the Hammers or Forest

Neither, apparently. Apparently he scored a hat-trick against Spurs for you lot.

Actually, I stand corrected. He did score a hat-trick for Forest but that was pre-Premiership. That's how long he's been around!

Btw, Andrew Cole is still one of the highest scoring players in Premiership history. Shearer is tops.
