FOUR OR MORE GOALS

A total of 89 players have scored 140 competitive hat-tricks, but here's the list of players who have scored four or more goals in a game.
Alex Higgins is the only player to score 5 in a game, and it was in the same 14-0 win over Clapton that Tinsley Lindley scored his only 4-goal game.

Thomas Peacock scored 4 goals 4 times, and the final three games were all within 6 weeks of other during the lead-up to Christmas 1935.
