Hat-trick, phah thats nothing!!

Afonso Alves scored an unbelievable 7 goals in one game last Saturday. Thats a new record in the dutch Eredivisie.

Thats not the world record though, Olympos Xylofagou's striker, Panagiotis Pontikos, banged in 16 goals against SEK Ayios Athanasios FC in May 2007 which is the World league record....this record is shared with Stephan Stanis, who also scored 16 goals for his side Racing Club in a French Cup match against Aubry Asturies in December 1942. (Unfortunately there is no footage available for these games)

In international football, the record for the number of goals scored by a single player in one match is held by Australian Archie Thompson, who scored 13 goals for the Socceroos in their 31-0 victory over American Samoa.

Best of the lot though, the biggest margin of victory in club football was Madagascan side, Stade Olympique de L'Emyrne, who put the ball in their own net 149 times in a league match against champions, Adema, in protest at a refereeing decision earlier in the match. (no footage available either)
