    CORRECT

    2. Paul Walsh Cliff Holton

    Walsh is the youngest hat tricker but that was a cup game.

    Holton not in the top ten of oldie hat trickers
    Probably wrong!

    Nope

    Pretty sure you would have seen the youngest but not the oldest.

    Kevin Lisbie v Liverpool at Selhurst?

    Young Lisbie qualifies in both categories.

    Lisbie's Liverpool hat-trick was at the Valley. Pretty sure he barely scored three in the Selhurst years let alone a hat-trick.

    He didn't make his debut until four years after we got back to the Valley.

    Youngest league hat-trick scorer is Robert Lee v Grimsby 29/12/1984 aged 18 years 331 days

    After the yet to be named oldest the next oldest is Whitlow, then Saunders (is the king), Kiernan, Nelson, Summers (twice), Hales , Summers (again) and then Firmani …



    Firmani was the second youngest player to score a league hat-trick v Stoke City 22/11/1952 aged 19 years 107 days.

    Looking at those names by a process of elimination is the oldest Ralph Allen?
