No to all those bar Ba.

Follow up African question. Can't remember why I was doing African stuff but anyway.

Twenty African players have scored Premier League hattricks. Can you name them?

Benjani (?)

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

I'm seriously struggling now.

Slimani
Prince Boatang
Muntari
Taarabt

I bet they are English born but chose to play for an African heritage country instead like Zaha.

 

[Brownie]

Benjani (?)

Yep, had that one though mate.

Nope. One is gettable, one is pretty tough.

Sorry, mate. I've not read through the thread. Any chance of a list of who you have so far, or how many?

 

[Brownie]

Bolasie?

Missed this, correct, for Palace, year before we signed him.

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Nope. One is gettable, one is pretty tough.

Was I right about at least one of them being English born? Been wracking my brains and can only come up with Jason Roberts.

Fortune

It's not. Accidentally missed Salah off as he wasn't on my original list from a year or so ago (so there are actually 21, I re-checked, and he's the only new one).

Probably the trickiest one left for last, imo.

Isn't Fortune either, Leylo.

 

[Brownie]

Missed Kalou as well. One more to add to these.
