Didnt Peter Ward also score a hat trick against Wolves?

Thanks for sharing, good listen

Harty doesn't seem to get that many views but he certainly has decent guests, Paul Barber and Paul Hayward to name a couple...

It’s a slow burner old boy, hopefully it will catch on

Yes, around Christmas 1979. 3-1 away win.

He scored a couple in the home match too.

Great program again Ian, Gordon was always one of my favourite players from that era. and don't these guys have great memories when you talk to them about specific games. Glad you said he'd given you one of your greatest memories when he scored at Wembley. I was part of the Albion crowd that day and to feel the concrete terracing actually moving as we celebrated still gives me goose bumps today.

Peter Ward scored the first top flight hat trick at Molineux on a frosty night just before Xmas 1979 - starting a sequence of results that probably kept us up that season. Smith hauled us back from 0-3 down midway through the second half at Highfield Road in October of the following season. I went to both games and really enjoyed the latter, being as I was living & working in Coventry at the time.

Apologies Gents, it now appears that Smudger is the last player to score a top flight hat trick for the Albion not the only player ��

The Peter Ward stat had totally gone out of my head, and the source I checked with stated Smith was the only one. My bad ��*

Will amend the statement in this weeks show ��

Loved the story of Neil McNab - binned off for speaking his mind at a meeting, Some loss making decision that was - we paid £220K for him (all figures from Wiki) and sold him for £35K less than 3 years later to Manchester, where he played for another seven years as one of their best players!
Funny, I'd almost forgotten him, but I remember now that at the time I was hugely excited when we signed him - one of our best players, IMHO.
