Astonishing (and slightly interesting fact)

[irishbrian]

Just trying to cure my hangover by looking up some old stats to keep me from thinking about my pounding head, and here's one (i think) is right.

How long would you say it's been since we had a City player score a hat-trick in a league
football game?
And yes I know we spent five years away in the Conference so some might think it was in our last season in League Two.
You'd be a long way off!

Any guesses?

Ronnie Jepson against Wrexham in '93?

Very good guess Angelic - though not right , very close though.

 

[Far East Grecian]

Steve Moran?

 

[irishbrian]

Mickey Ross

Kellow 3-1 Leicester 81'

Spot on Dommers. Amazing as it seems , it been since 1993 that we've had an Exeter player notch a hat-trick. Angelic , Ronnie done his a few weeks previous to that in the 5-0 v Wrexham so he wouldn't have been the last.

For bonus point, what game did Ross do it in?
