Billy Sharp has now scored EFL hat-tricks in his 20s, 30s and 40s

Veteran striker Billy Sharp admitted he felt blessed after signing off in style for Doncaster Rovers with a hat-trick.

The 40-year-old, who is in his third spell at the club, will move on in the summer but he confessed his farewell gift - all three goals in a 3-1 win at Peterborough in his final game - felt like a fairytale.

Sharp could even have scored a fourth late on but the goal was ruled out for offside.

"I just wanted that feeling one more time but to do it three times - and nearly four - I don't know, I felt very lucky. I didn't think it was real," Sharp told BBC Radio Sheffield.
