Just read on the OS that the last player to score five in a single game was the king of the backheel, Denis Law, in the infamous abandoned FA Cup tie, which City were leading 6-2.
Denis scored all six.
I thought Kiddo or the other Dennis, "King of all Geordies" Tueart, had done it in the 70s.
Obviously not.
Just for the record - Denis Law scored 7 goals in the FA cup tie against Luton - and finished on the losing side. He scored the only goal in the replay when City lost 3-1.
Good trivia or pub question.
Who scored 7 goals in an FA cup tie and finished on the losing side.?.
