To a native Englishman, a Hat-trick in Football or Soccer as it is known in the U.S is something you learn an entirety about from a very early age – about the age of 6 in the school playground! In some countries that are newer to Soccer or for people who just want to know a bit more about its origins, it may not be so clear.

Stephenson, playing for England versus a team from Hallam, South Yorkshire, took three consecutive wickets at the Hyde Park Cricket Grounds in Sheffield. This means he hit the wooden stakes (wickets) behind the batter on 3 consecutive occasions. This was then adopted by Soccer to pay recognition to any player that scored 3 goals in a match. Though unlike in Cricket, the goals did not need to happen consecutively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you have read earlier, just 3 basic factors constitute what a Hat-trick consists of but there is a bit more to it.
