The one I recall being told about by my Dad was Charlton vs Huddersfield.
Charlton were losing 5.1 with about 20 minutes to go, went on to win 7.6 with Johnny Summers scoring 5.

I saw it happen twice

Roger Davies for Derby County v Luton 29/3/75

Ian Rush for Liverpool v Luton 29\10\83

I do believe Tony Woodcock scored 5 for Arsenal on the same day as Ian Rush scored his five, it could have been against Aston Villa

Hi All,

I'm a new member of this site and my first question is to ask if any of you have a full list of players who have scored 5 goals in a top division game in England.

I'd be grateful if you could help me if you have this list as I am finding it difficult to track down all the players who have achieved this feat.

Thanks,

Dan Seppings
