three goals in four minutes. In regular play that is; not penalties.
The name Willie Hall is not readily recognised by even the most stat mad soccer fan - but Willie holds a scoring record that has endured since 1938!
Signed by the London club Tottenham Hotspur from Notts County in 1932 for a fee of $4500, Hall was selected ten times for the England National Team between 1933 and 1939.
On 16 November 1938,at Manchester United's Old Trafford ground, England played Northern Ireland in a British Home Championship match.
England went 1-0 up in eight minutes through a Tommy Lawton header before Hall wreaked havoc in the NI defense and entered the record books scoring three goals in four minutes!
Not content with his 36, 38 and 40th. minute first half goals - Willie scored twice more in the second half to notch up five of England's seven goals.(England 7-0 Northern Ireland).
An England international scoring record (most goals by a single player in a match) only equalled by two other players - Steve Bloomer in 1896 and Malcolm MacDonald in 1975.
Hall scored 4 other goals in his ten match England career (9 goals in ten matches) and scored 27 goals in 205 appearances for Tottenham.
