“On 13 September, Andrew Tod scored a hat-trick for Dunfermline v Arbroath,” notes Ian Golightly. “His father, Andy Tod, scored a hat-trick for Dunfermline v Dundee on 1 January 2005. Are there any other examples of a father and son who have scored a hat-trick for the same club?”

Next up: Benfica, where José Águas scored 16 hat-tricks between 1950 and 1962. His son Rui Águas bagged three of his own between 1986 and 1993, either side of a spell at Porto. Thanks to João Almeida Moreira and Rui Miguel Tovar for that one.
