Zlatan and Manolo might have had hat tricks yesterday at Wembley, in their EFL Cup Final but didn't quite make it.
In 1953, centre forward, Stanley Mortensen stole the glory in the Stanley Matthews' FA Cup Final at Wembley, with a hat trick. The two Stanleys dismantled Bolton's amazing 3-1 lead to bring the Cup to the Lancashire seaside town. This video is GREAT.....George Farm was a Scottish goalkeeper, there were no subs. abd Bell stayed on the pitch although he was basically one legged!

Another FA Cup Final hat trick by William Townley in 1890 helped Blackburn Rovers beat Sheffield Wednesday 6-1 in a game played at the Oval on March 29th. This was equalled by Jimmy Logan of Notts County when his team beat Bolton 4-1 in the Final at Goodison Park in 1894. BUT I was hoping to keep on the Wembley trail, SO....
Clive Mendoca, Sunderland born, in the 1998 Championship Play Off, at Wembley, with a hat trick, led Charlton to a 4-4 draw aet (3-3 at full time) against Sunderland, eventually winning 7-6 on penalties.

Scott Sinclair bagged 3for Swansea helped beat Reading in the 2011 Wembley Championship Play Off Final helping his team win 4-2 including two penalties.
David Speedie notched three for Chelsea when they beat Manchester City in the 1985 Full Members' Cup Final. This was created as an extra competition for the higher level clubs to make up for the 1985 "ban" from European football following the Heysel Disaster. Chelsea had led 5-1 with City coming back strong in the latter stages of the game. Colin Lee scored 2 for the Pensioners.

There is then of course Geoff Hurst at Wembley in the World Cup Final 1966. Anyone know any other hat tricks in Wembley Finals?
