Spot on, Jim - Ken has not lost the record. Fair enough someone has now equalled it.So; he hasn't actually lost the record, then, seeing as he was never the outright holder of it. Just the joint holder, which he still is, no?

Mr Mes, the much maligned bbc football page gives a big recognition and name check to Ken Barnes in the article about Kluivert.Fair play to Justin Kluivert with his 3 penalties in a game but bollocks to the media with all their “first time in the Premier League” nonsense.
Football didn’t start in 1992
So Ken Barnes lost a proud record that had stood for 67 years.
Before today, only three others have scored a hat-trick of penalties in the history of English top-flight football. Ken Barnes was the last to do so in December 1957 for Manchester City v Everton at Maine Road in a 6-1 win.

This sounds like the sort of question they would have on Eggheads.

My point was the media making a big thing over it being the first time in the Premier League, where as it should have been the first time since Ken Barnes did it in 1957.
Instead he’s airbrushed out of history because it happened before 1992.
You can bet if if was the ticket tout or the liver thief it would have been all over the commentators lips.
What Ken has “lost” is being the answer to the pub quiz / Eggheads question “who was the last person to score 3 penalties in the top flight of the English League?”
